With a total of sixteen 16 credit hours, the multi-disciplinary micro-degree is designed to be completed in four (4) to six (6) months with a maximum of twelve (12) months. It could take less time and cost less depending on how much transfer credit you receive. Enrollment occurs throughout the year. The course cycle begins monthly, so we’re ready when you are.

Accredicity’s learner platform is open to anyone over 13 years old. Since we are a post-secondary institution, we require a high-school diploma (or GED) to enroll in our undergraduate certificate program. Otherwise, we do not have any additional academic or experience-related requirements.

The undergraduate rate is $300 per month. Members of the military, a veteran, or part of a military family are eligible for specific discounts. Accredicity does not offer scholarship opportunities at this time. This program is not approved for educational benefits and Federal Student Aid under Title IV.

We use a mix of pedagogical and andragogical academic approaches to deliver our education. The learner depends on herself or himself to move through the Learner Platform and gain competency levels. This method requires self-direction and responsibility for the process, builds on existing knowledge, and requires an understanding of diverse backgrounds. At the program level, learning and course selection is prescribed by the student in collaboration with a success coach. At the course level, learning is prescribed by an instructor, and students only advance once they have completed the necessary steps. Courses are broken down into content units called topics. In this context, students learn from the content, the instructor, and other students in the program.

The Professional Development program at Accredicity is offered entirely online to increase flexibility for adult learners. Distance Education Students progress online through their program at their own pace. Which helps distance students have harmony between school life with families and jobs.

Each course should take one (1) to two (2) weeks to complete. There are no set class times to attend. This allows you to complete coursework at your own time, place, and pace.

Academic Engagement

Academic Preparation

Our programs include multiple courses, which include, but are not limited to, required videos, readings, activities, presentations, projects, writing, exams, and assessments. Students may also complete one or more milestone projects.

Accredicity’s programs are a learning alternative to traditional education formats provided in higher education. We don’t train you to do your job. We train you to do your job better. These credentials are best seen as supplementary and complement your previous education history and work experience. These certificate programs and micro-credentials are best used not in isolation but rather to complement or supplement degree-based education and professional training. 

Students watch pre-recorded video lectures from Youtube, which gives them more control to view a lesson and pause it, take notes, or review content, which allows them to be more autonomous, self-directed, and motivated. Bite-Size Videos simply fit in better with everyday life and enable students to learn on their time. Around other parts of their days also greatly advantages the students and helps them be more fully engaged and feel less overwhelmed, which leads to overall improvements in learning.

Accredicity does accept a wide variety of transfer credit for other institutions. At this time, Accredicity credits are not transferred to other institutions. Students can use these transfer credits to fulfill specific program and course requirements. Although that is not the case at this time, some universities are starting to recognize non-credit academic high-quality micro-credentials provided by a non-traditional school such as Accredicity for credit into their degree program.

Students can earn credit towards this program through their previous work, life, or military experiences with our credit for prior learning incentives. We accept life experiences, enabling applicants to maximize their transfer credits. This can reduce the time required to graduate and significantly save the total cost of earning a micro-degree. Please read the catalog for further details.

Career-oriented Professionals may earn continuing education credits while completing their micro-degree program at Accredicity. This may appeal to workers who need to maintain a professional license and certification. Accredicity cannot confirm that other institutions and organizations will universally accept their CEUs.
