Credential Programs

Yes, all the courses needed for the Micro- and Macrocredentials are offered as fully online asynchronous courses.

The Micro- and Macrocredentials can be completed in a shorter time period and at a fraction of the cost of the full master’s degree. However, courses taken at the $1,200 cost do not bear credit and may not be used toward the full MEd in Value-Creating Education for Global Citizenship.

Interested in the full MEd degree? Visit the program page.

The Microcredentail program requires the completion of 4 courses (VCE511, VCE520, VCE531, and VCE570), whereas the Macrocredential requires the completion of 7 courses (4 courses for Microcredential + VCE510, VCE532, and VCE550). Please see the home page for the course titles and course offering calendar.

No. Unlike the MEd, which requires application and acceptance, anyone may simply register for the Micro- and Macrocredential courses. Simply follow the registration steps and you’ll be placed into the respective course(s).
