What Are Stackable Credits?
How Can They Help with My Career?
How Can They Help with My Career?
These degrees can be earned by using stackable credits. So . . . what are stackable credits?
In essence, this approach sees students attain certificates and degrees in manageable increments. This helps the students because they can progress at their own pace. For example, a student may start out with the sole intention of taking a certificate program. Once they've received the certification, they may decide to expand their knowledge and marketability by pursuing an associate's degree. Then, if they choose, a bachelor's degree, or even a graduate degree. With stackable credentials, there is nothing limiting the level of achievement a student can attain. What separates stacking credentials from the traditional approach to education is the student doesn't commit the time or expense of spending four, or more, consecutive years in a college or university.
