Programs built around skills employers want

What are skills-aligned programs and courses?

When creating our skills-aligned programs, we started with the most in-demand skills, based on workplace statistics and insights, and built your learning around them, one assignment at a time.

This alignment is like a nutritional facts label for our degrees and programs — you know exactly what’s possible to gain from your coursework and how those skills relate to your career goals.

Career-relevant data

We collaborated with Lightcast, a labor market data company that helps colleges develop relevant programs for today’s economy. We leveraged Lightcast data to find in-demand skills for occupations related to our degrees, and we’ve aligned our programs to those skills.

Easy tracking

Now it’s easy to track your progress as you complete your coursework, so you know exactly which skills you’re gaining.

Demonstrate skills

Assessments for one or more skills are built into all skills-aligned courses. You’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your new skills in class — and on the job or interviewing for the next one.
