Pathway
Your Micro-Credentials, your path
Earn once, use again and again.
Every Micro-Credential you earn is yours to keep. It's portable: it stacks toward any Emerging Degree that includes it, and toward an Emerging Degree you design yourself. Nothing you earn is ever wasted.
Two ways to choose your Emerging Degree
- Pick one of 152 Emerging Degrees. Choose a ready-made Bachelor, Master or Doctor of Professional Practice stack.
- Build your own. Choose your own stack of Micro-Credentials (Bachelor 18, Master 24, DProf 36). EIU-Paris reviews the stack and sets the final title once it's complete.
Two ways to work with EIU-Paris
- Micro-Credentials first, then apply. Earn all the required Micro-Credentials on IKON SKILLS™, then apply to EIU-Paris.
- Together from the start. Enroll with EIU-Paris early to receive your Acceptance Letter and student ID number, then earn your Micro-Credentials alongside.
Either way, IKON SKILLS™ issues a Certificate of Mastery and digital badge for each Micro-Credential, and EIU-Paris confers the Emerging Degree.
