Microcredentials & Digital Badges

UNH defines a Microcredential as evidence that reflects attainment of specific skills or competencies, issued as a Digital Badge. Currently, CARE offers four Microcredentials. The three grade-based badges are achieved by completing two UNH Graduate Level Courses. The participation-based Introduction badge is achieved by completing a week-long short course and a series of online tutorials. 

Full semester courses can be taken at the UNH campus in person or online. One-week short courses require in-person participation.
