MicroMasters is a professional and academic credential for online learners from anywhere in the world. Learners who pass an integrated set of MITx graduate-level courses on MITx Online, and one or more proctored exams, will earn a MicroMasters credential from MITx, and can then apply for an accelerated, on campus, master’s degree program at MIT or other top universities.
Through a new partnership with online learning platform edX, Pepperdine University plans to launch its first MicroMasters master s degree program, available later this year. The new program will offer a flexible pathway to completing a master s degree through career-relevant, skill-based introductory courses.
