What’s a MicroMasters program?

A MicroMasters program is a series of higher-level courses derived from Universities master’s programs and endorsed by companies for relevant job advancement and deeper learning in a specific subject area.  Students verifying, completing, and passing all courses in a MicroMasters program receive an edX MicroMasters credential, which can count towards Master’s degree credit if the learner applies to the university offering the credential and is accepted.

MicroMasters program offerings allow learners to demonstrate capacity and mastery of material for a given career area, and enable edX partners to showcase the educational offerings of their institutions as well as viewing the capabilities and drive of potential student applicants to on-campus programs.

Partner

edX is the education movement for restless learners. Together with our founding partners Harvard and MIT, we’ve brought together over 35 million learners, the majority of top-ranked universities in the world, and industry-leading companies onto one online learning platform that supports learners at every stage. And we’re not stopping there—as a global nonprofit, we’re relentlessly pursuing our vision of a world where every learner can access education to unlock their potential, without the barriers of cost or location.
