MIT is piloting a MicroMaster’s credential, awarded to students who complete the first half of the supply chain management master’s program online in MOOC format. The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that students who complete the first semester of courses online and pass a “comprehensive proctored examination” will get preference in the admissions process for the final portion of the master’s degree on campus. After spending just one semester on campus, students who do the first half of the coursework online can walk away with an MIT master’s degree.
