Micro-Credential Opportunities with the MIX
The MIX partners with existing credit-bearing academic courses to offer an integrated micro-credential. George Mason University utilizes a third-party badgng service that develops badges for different short courses and skills. Successful participants receive that credential and can use them as references for future careers, resumes, and more.
A designated portion of the curriculum is dedicated to required contact hours at the MIX, enabling students to earn an additional micro-credential badge alongside their academic credit.
Faculty members interested in enhancing their courses with a micro-credential badge are encouraged to contact the MIX management team to explore collaboration opportunities.
