For accreditation purposes, “non-degree credentials” include a variety of programs offering narrowly focused areas of study where learners demonstrate mastery of knowledge, skills, abilities, and/or competencies. A non-degree credential typically covers more than a traditional three-four credit hour course but less content than a full degree. Non-Degree Credentials vary in content, instructional level (associates, baccalaureate, masters, etc.), length, method of instructional delivery, credit awarded, and professional or occupational focus.
