Professional Development

Academics / Global Campus / Professional Development

Learning is a lifelong pursuit. With continual changes to the skills required for success, shifting organizational priorities, and a desire to pursue excellence, many professionals seek opportunities to deepen their learning.

At Calvin, we offer online and in-person short courses and workshops for professionals to enhance knowledge and skills in various subject areas. Upon completion of these microcredentials, learners receive a digital badge to validate their skills and knowledge gained.

We’ve woven Calvin’s mission into the fabric of each of these professional development experiences - to help all learners think deeply, act justly and live wholeheartedly as Christ’s agents of renewal in the world.

Microcredentials by Sector

Calvin offers short, innovative, skills-based, non-credit learning experiences designed for learners to upskill or cross-skill. These may also contribute to a degree-bearing program when combined through a pre-determined pathway that demonstrates evidence of academic learning.

Online courses are hosted through Calvin Learn, our proprietary learning management system. Register for an account at learn.calvin.edu and browse what’s currently available for registration.
