Overview

Students can choose to enroll in either the American Culture & Communication microcredential, the English for Professional Communication microcredential, or complete both programs to earn the Intercultural Communication and Collaboration in English (Competency) badge. 

Designed for multilingual learners seeking to strengthen their English communication skills in academic, professional, and intercultural settings, these microcredentials provide practical knowledge and hands-on experience in American culture, workplace communication, and professional English. Students will develop the language and cultural competencies needed to communicate effectively with Americans, navigate diverse professional environments, and deliver presentations with confidence. Coursework focuses on intercultural communication, business English, academic and professional writing, and oral presentation skills. Together, these programs prepare students to succeed in today's global workforce, where strong English communication and cross-cultural collaboration skills are highly valued by employers.
