Micro-Creditionals

A benefit of the MPA program at NKU is the flexibility to earn micro-creditionals while also achieving your degree. A micro-creditional is a badge that signifies your mastery of relevant workplace skills, abilities and competencies. This badge may be displayed on your resume or online platforms, including LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook accounts. During my time in the MPA program, I completed the Disaster Readiness micro-creditional (pictured below). 

There are at least five micro-creditionals that overlap with the MPA degree, and there are many others offered at NKU. The five overlapping micro-creditionals with MPA courses. These include: 

1. Arts Administration

2. Leadership in the Public Sector

3. Disaster Readiness

4. GIS and Mapping

5. Serving Veterans and Families
