Microcredentials Template
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The microcredential in applied computing gives students a foundation for using computers and computational thinking to solve problems in areas of academic, professional, or personal interest.
Students who complete the microcredential will be able to create their own small-scale computing artifacts, and to collaborate with professional developers creating large systems.
The microcredential achieves these goals through a combination of coursework, a project, and reflection.
Current Geneseo students can begin any microcredential by taking the course and contacting the chair or the coordinator listed.
