ABSTRACT

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is driving transformative changes across society, leading to a surge in demand for professionals skilled in computer technologies. However, traditional education systems face challenges in adapting to rapidly evolving technologies, with long learning durations and high costs. In response, microdegrees have emerged as a solution, offering focused, short-term learning in specific fields, thereby enhancing flexibility and accessibility in education. This study explores how microdegrees provide new opportunities within existing educational frameworks, examines their roles and impacts across various domains, and identifies key elements to consider when designing microdegree programs. Ultimately, microdegrees will play a crucial role in rapidly adapting to technological trends and cultivating the workforce needed for the future. This research aims to contribute to foundational studies on microdegrees, driving educational innovation and proposing a new educational paradigm.
