Education Designed for Current & Future Industry Professionals
UMass Boston Professional Development focuses on current and future industry professionals who want to acquire new skills and credentials fast.
Professional Development covers everything outside of our credit-bearing academic programs and courses—including stackable microcredentials and non-credit certificates.
Featured Microcredentials & Pathways
Microcredentials are short programs of study, from online modules to in-person intensives, designed to help you develop specialized skills fast. Completion earns you a digital badge for sharing via social media, your résumé, your email signature, and beyond. Some microcredentials are stackable into a full learning pathway.
Featured Non-Credit Certificates
Non-credit certificates consist of multiple non-credit courses resulting in robust development of new skills. Students who successfully complete program requirements earn a certificate of completion. Some non-credit certificates also prepare you for a related professional certification exam.
