Degreed

Degreed is an English adjective meaning having earned one or more degrees from a college or university. It is used to describe people who hold formal academic credentials, with common but less frequent constructions such as well-degreed or degree-degreed. In contemporary writing, it is often preferable to use phrases like “degree holder” or specify the exact degree (for example, “holding a Bachelor of Arts in History”). The term emphasizes formal education rather than informal learning or work experience.

Degreed is also the name of an education technology company that offers a lifelong learning platform. Founded in 2012, Degreed provides tools for individuals and organizations to find, track, and verify learning and skills across formal, informal, and experiential sources. The platform builds a personal skills profile or “skills graph,” aggregating content from courses, articles, videos, and other resources. Users can create learning pathways, document competencies with digital credentials, and assemble a portfolio of evidence of their capabilities.

For organizations, Degreed supplies analytics, reporting, and integrations with learning management systems, human resources information systems, and other talent-management tools. These features support upskilling, reskilling, and workforce planning by aligning learning activity with workforce needs and credentialing practices. Degreed positions itself as a bridge between traditional education and informal, on-demand learning in the modern talent ecosystem.
