Our academic badges can empower you to showcase your expertise and better stand out in today’s competitive job market.
Social Media Marketing Course: Mastering Digital Strategies
UofL now offers a course designed for current or aspiring business professionals and leaders looking to boost their digital media skillset. This course has been expertly designed to help you leverage the power of social media for personal and professional growth through four highly focused modules. Social media is constantly evolving, and in today’s digital age, mastering effective marketing strategies is essential for success in almost every industry.
Stackable Online Certificates: Building Your Professional Portfolio
Our stackable certificates* are modular, stand-alone programs (typically 9-12 credit hours each) that allow you to acquire specialized knowledge in a specific field or discipline. Rather than pursuing a traditional, linear educational pathway, stackable certificates can empower you to build expertise gradually. As a bonus, the combined certificate credits can be seamlessly applied toward a related graduate degree if you choose to pursue one.
* Currently available within the Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE) or Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (MEEM).
