DIGITAL BADGES
Academic Digital Badges are micro-credentials that allow students to demonstrate mastery of specific skills in addition to their majors and minors. Badges are yet another way to differentiate yourself in the eyes of future employers. Note that these are Academic Digital Badges; the Office of Student Development also offers Digital Badges for their “Outside the Classroom Curriculum” for other sets of skills that do not involve taking classes for academic credit.
HOW ARE THEY USED?
Academic Digital Badges can be placed on a CV, website, or Linkedin profile.
HOW CAN I EARN ONE?
At St. Thomas Aquinas College, Academic Digital Badges are awarded after the completion of a 9 or 12-credit sequence in a specific interdisciplinary area. Currently badges are available in the following areas: Design Thinking, Digital Marketing, Digital Production Skills, Ethical Awareness, Medical Illustration, Social Media Skills, Social Justice, and Entrepreneurship.
