Research Micro-Credentials and Programs
Build the skills to take your next step into research.
Turn your curiosity into experience. Research micro-credentials and programs in the College of Arts and Sciences help you build practical skills, gain hands-on experience and earn recognition for what you accomplish.
Whether you’re preparing for your first research opportunity, developing specialized skills or already conducting research, you can find an opportunity that matches your experience and goals.
There’s no single way to get started in research. You might be learning foundational skills, developing specialized expertise or ready to showcase research you’ve already completed.
Explore the opportunities and find the next step that fits your interests, experience and goals.
Research takes more than curiosity. Learning how to ask questions, use research tools and methods, analyze information and communicate what you discover can prepare you for opportunities in and beyond the classroom.
Depending on the program you choose, you may:
- Work with specialized research tools and equipment
- Develop research and analytical skills
- Participate in research, creative or scholarly activities
- Analyze data and solve problems
- Work with faculty and other researchers
- Present and communicate your work
These experiences can help prepare you for undergraduate research, internships, graduate or professional study and careers that value research, analysis and problem-solving.
Complete a micro-credential or program requirement and you can earn a digital badge issued through Credly. Your badge contains information about your achievement, including the criteria you completed and the skills you developed.
Your digital badge is yours to share. Add it to your LinkedIn profile, digital resume or e-portfolio to show employers, graduate programs and others what you’ve accomplished.
