A micro-credential is a Cambrian College Board of Governor’s level certification awarded at Convocation. The Global Citizenship Certificate of Completion is currently being offered to students who are taking a two-year diploma program, a three-year advanced diploma program or as a stand-alone certificate. Students must successfully complete any four of the courses listed below to be eligible for the Certificate of Completion.
Courses within the Global Citizenship Micro-Certificate focus on individuals and communities are becoming more globally connected through travel, the media and social media, and the vast array of opportunities open to everyone around the globe to connect.
Current Postsecondary Students
Students currently enrolled in a postsecondary program at Cambrian College may take this micro-credential concurrently with their diploma program.
Whenever there is a General Education course within their program, students seeking the micro-credential should elect to take one of the four Health and Wellness courses. Since each program requires three General Education courses, students must enroll in one additional course (with applicable tuition and other fees), whether as an overload or through an off-stream term. Students will apply to graduate for the micro-credential upon completion.
For further information, please get in touch with your program coordinator or Bradie Granger, Chair, Schools of Interdisciplinary Studies and Public Safety.
