MicroMasters
MicroMasters programs are a series of graduate level courses launched by edX that one can take to earn graduate level credentials[1] from its respective universities. First launched in September 2016 with 19 MicroMasters programs as an extension of its MOOC, edX eventually expanded to include 17 additional programs in February 2017. As of March 2018, 46 different MicroMasters programs are being offered.[2]
In 2017, General Electric has promised to interview any Massachusetts resident who completes a MicroMasters program in supply chain management, cybersecurity, cloud computing, or artificial intelligence.[3] In 2018, MIT admitted its first batch of 40 students into its blended supply chain management program from graduates of its MicroMasters program, reducing its usual 10-month program to 5 months.[4]
