MIT launches online Master’s courses worldwide

PanARMENIAN.Net - MIT has announced that you can now obtain a highly-regarded Masters degree in Supply Chain Management (mainly) online, Engadget reports.

The new 14-week credential is called a MicroMaster's and will be open to anyone and once completed students can get a verified certificate documenting their hard work for a small fee.

Undertaken via edX, it is the first MITx course that can be put towards the full Master’s program, meaning the remainder of the course is only one on-campus semester.

"The new combination of online courses and one residential semester will open the SCM program to many more learners," said Professor Yossi Sheffi who runs the SCM program and its online components. By making it open to anyone for free the college is recruiting those who are determined and driven, but aren't sure they can afford a traditional Master's program.
