Professionals looking to boost their skillsets can enroll in one or many of the Badge courses offered at Wichita State. These badges can not only teach you new skills, but also enhance your current knowledge base.
One such series of Badges is the Creative Interventions series, which offers a broad overview of creative, ethical and mindfulness-based approaches to practice, designed to support those working in social work, counseling, education and related areas.
Badges are bite-sized, one credit hour or less courses designed to work within the working professional’s schedule. They can be taken at your own pace and use Open Educational Resources, meaning you don’t need to pay for a textbook.
To learn more about Badges, including how to enroll for the fall 2025 semester, visit wichita.edu/badges. And employees at Wichita State can apply for Tuition Assistance to cover the cost of Badges. The final application window for Tuition Assistance closes Aug. 4.
Wichita State has been a leader in creating a standard for microcredentials, allowing employers to be confident that meaningful learning has occurred when you list the badge on your resume. Badges are developed with input from employers, government licensing agencies, trade associations and faculty.
