College of Liberal Arts >> Psychology department

Students who earn the undergraduate microcredential in Childhood Health and Well-Being will be qualified to earn entry level jobs in organizations and agencies that serve children and adolescents. The microcredential is suitable for those who aspire to work with children and adolescents in careers that do not require an advanced degree as well as those already in the workforce who want to upskill. This may include credentialed Applied Behavioral Analysts, Department of Child Services employees, patient advocates, program organizers in non-profit agencies, and educators.

Undergraduate Microcredential Requirements
- The total number of credit hours required for an undergraduate microcredential may vary by academic discipline but must require a minimum of 6 credit hours and not more than 9 credit hours.
- At least 50% of the microcredential requirements must be earned at USI.
- Coursework taken more than 4 years before the microcredential is awarded cannot be applied.
- Credit hours earned for a microcredential may be applied toward another degree program. A microcredential, therefore, can be embedded within a larger (e.g. certificate, minor, or major) undergraduate degree program. Academic departments may determine whether coursework taken to complete a microcredential can also be applied to a degree program.
- Microcredentials may be stand-alone or linked to an existing degree program, allowing for stackability with other microcredentials and certificates toward a degree (i.e., certificate, minor, or major) program.
