All students at The University of Texas at Dallas are eligible to earn Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) micro-credentials.

A BBS micro-credential documents specific skills acquired by students intended to enable new career opportunities and greater earning potential. BBS micro-credentials appear on the student’s final transcript and are also distributed in the form of digital badges which can be distributed to potential employers using social websites such as LinkedIn or as hyperlinks on student resumes.

Currently, the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences offers four micro-credentials: Behavioral Research Methods, User Experience (UX) Research, Biobehavioral Data Science, and Neural Net Math.
