Stackable Credentials
Professional credentials for working professionals
Pamplin is developing short-form, credit-bearing credential options — including digital badges and professional certificates — for professionals who want to build targeted business skills on their own terms.
Virginia Tech's Pamplin College of Business is developing a portfolio of non-degree credential options — digital badges and professional certificates — designed for working professionals who want to build focused business skills without committing to a full degree program. These offerings aim to deliver applied learning you can complete in months, not years.
These offerings are in active development and subject to university and state approval processes. Details including curriculum, cost, delivery format, and availability will be shared as they are finalized. Sign up for our email list to be the first to know when offerings launch.
What we're building
Pamplin's goal is to offer professionals flexible, credential-bearing options to develop in-demand business skills. Credentials are being designed with Virginia Tech's academic rigor and developed by the same faculty who teach in Pamplin's nationally ranked graduate programs.
