Build the Future of Microcredentials at FHSU
FHSU is committed to delivering flexible, career-focused professional education and workforce training through microcredential programs. If you're an FHSU department ready to design a new program or a subject matter expert interested in facilitating courses, you'll find everything you need here to take the next step.
Develop a Microcredential Program
Microcredential programs offer focused, flexible professional education and workforce training that meets learners where they are. These non-credit programs—delivered through workshops, bootcamps, online courses, and other formats—allow professionals to upskill or reskill without pursuing a traditional degree.
