The University of Southern Indiana has launched a new slate of undergraduate and graduate microcredential programs, expanding flexible, short‑term learning options for working professionals, adult learners and students seeking targeted skill development. Introduced in fall 2025 and expanding in 2026, USI’s microcredentials align with the University’s core value of transformative learning and reflect a growing demand for accessible, career‑focused education delivered in an online format. The microcredentials offer multiple entry points throughout the year, several of which will begin for the first time this summer and fall. Additional offerings are still in planning phases. “We are honored to offer these new short-term academic credentials to current, past and future USI students to support their career advancement,” said Dr. Brian Crose, Assistant Dean of Online and Adult Learning at USI. “Our focus is to provide knowledge and skills needed in the workplace that are attainable within only a few months, rather than years. This ties into our vision for boldly transforming the lives of our students.”
