Unlock Your Potential with Stackable Credentials
At Nexford, we believe in empowering you to achieve your academic and career goals efficiently. That's why we've introduced a new feature in myNXU that showcases your potential for earning additional credentials through our stackable program pathways. This feature is designed to help you visualize how your current studies can build upon each other, saving you time and money on your educational journey.
What are Stackable Credentials?
Stackable credentials are a series of smaller educational programs that, when completed in a specific sequence, lead to a higher-level credential. For example, a certificate program can "stack" into a bachelor's degree, or a single course can stack into a certificate. This allows you to earn valuable credentials along the way to your ultimate degree, making you more marketable to employers at every stage.
How it Works in myNXU
Our new system in myNXU under the programs tab analyzes your current enrollment and displays information about other NXU credentials that you are on track to complete should you wish to enroll in them. The information you see will depend on what you are currently enrolled in:
Degree Programs: If you are in a degree program, myNXU will show you any NXU certificates or other credentials that you are on track to complete. This highlights opportunities to gain additional, specialized skills with minimal extra effort.
Certificates: If you are pursuing a certificate, myNXU will display the NXU degree programs that your current certificate can stack into. This helps you see a clear pathway to a bachelor's or master's degree.
Courses: If you are enrolled in a single course, myNXU will show you which NXU certificates that course can stack into. This allows you to see how your current learning contributes to a larger credential.
Why this is a Game-Changer
Efficiency: You can earn multiple credentials in less time by leveraging your completed coursework.
Career Advancement: Earning certificates along the way to your degree can give you a competitive edge in the job market.
Clear Pathways: See a tangible roadmap for your academic journey, from a single course to a full degree.
