Will MicroMasters add value to growing interest in advanced degrees? - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Colleges and universities throughout the country have entered an agreement with EdX to offer MicroMasters: small-scale credentialing programs that can be completed in months and can apply earned credit towards a master's degree. Online programs are offered in supply chain management, hospitality and business and social work, among dozens of other emerging professional fields. Credentials can be earned at a fraction of the cost of a full master's degree, which can spur savings in student loans of out-of-pocket expenses for a full degree. http://www.educationdive.com/news/will-micromasters-add-value-to-growing-interest-in-advanced-degrees/426726/
