Wharton’s New Online Courses Include Incentives - LINDSAY GELLMAN, Wall Street Journal

Acing an online course could lead to a Wharton degree. The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School last month unveiled a new series of courses, dubbed the Business Foundations specialization series, through online-education platform Coursera. The business school said it would waive the application fee to one of its graduate business programs for each of the online program’s top 50 performers in a given year. Wharton also said it would offer up to five $20,000 scholarships to admitted M.B.A. students “who have excelled in completion” of the series in the previous 12 months. http://www.wsj.com/articles/whartons-new-online-courses-include-incentives-1425515596
