How MOOC-Based Master's Degrees May Transform Higher Ed - Josh Moody, Forbes

For EdX, a pioneer of massive open online courses, this is an ambitious expansion, taking the current MicroMasters certificate program and scaling it up. Aside from the 50 MicroMasters listed online, EdX now is making nine fully fledged master’s degrees available through partner universities. Costs range from a low of $9,900 for a master’s in analytics from the Georgia Institute of Technology to $22,379 for a post-baccalaureate marketing degree from Curtin University. By comparison, EdX officials note the same GIT degree costs $36,000 for residents and $49,000 for out of state students. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshmoody/2018/10/14/how-mooc-based-masters-degrees-may-transform-higher-ed/#41339eb34efc
