A Pathway to Go Further

Interested in a full Quantum professional studies program? Micro-credential completers may be eligible for a tuition adjustment toward enrollment. Contact our admissions team to learn about current terms and eligibility.

Quantum micro-credentials are noncredit professional development programs. They do not confer academic credit and are not degrees, diplomas, or formal certificates as defined by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV). Any tuition adjustment eligibility toward full programs is a financial benefit, not an award of academic credit, and is subject to program terms and availability.
