Small(er) but mighty. 

Purdue Global's micro-credentials are learning opportunities of high-quality coursework in smaller packages, which can be taken as a part of your degree program or separately as their own credential. Earned micro-credentials attest that you've achieved specific skills and competencies, which helps you easily communicate your story to others. 

Stack your credentials as you go.

Purdue Global's micro-credentials can often be "stacked" together with other coursework to form larger credentials or degrees, allowing you to build upon your accomplishments and customize your learning experience along the way.

Digital representations of your accomplishments.

Micro-credentials not only show up on your transcript, they are also represented in digital formats, such as badges or e-diplomas and certificates. Digital credentials allow others to see and verify competencies or skills you've gained, courses you've completed, or other experiences you've had -- the things that add to your lifelong learning journey. 

PG partners with Canvas Credentials, a leading badging platform, to issue digital badges to its students and community members, and to provide you with a digital version of your credentials. This digital image contains verified metadata that describes your qualifications and the process required to earn them. 

You want to share your achievements. 

Digital credentials let you showcase your achievement on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, email, as well as many other online platforms with only a few simple clicks. Learn how here.

You control how and when you share your credentials. 

Once your digital credentials are issued to you, how and when you share them is up to you. You can make them public or set them to private and share them with only selected people. 

Take your digital credentials with you. 

Your micro-credentials, digital badges, and certificates are recorded on your transcript and/or digital badge portfolio, so your accomplishments can go wherever you do. This portability allows them to also be compatible with many other platforms, meaning you can add your badges and certificates to various digital locations. You can also embed your credential on your own website, in your email signature, or save it as a PDF.

Print at any time. 

Want to hang a paper copy of a certificate or diploma on your wall? The digital badges issued by Purdue Global have printable certificates embedded within them.  You can easily download and print a high-quality PDF of your certificate, whenever you'd like.
