The Office of Professional Advancement has instituted a badging system that allows graduates to virtually display a badge, which showcases their new skillset to prospective employers and professional colleagues.
Students will receive a digital badge after completion of the program (2 core courses and 2 elective courses). Students will receive an email with instructions on how to collect their badges. Once collected, students can display their badges on social media sites like LinkedIn. Any potential employer will be able to click on the badge for a list of specific skills associated with the respective certificate received.
