EdX Quietly Developing ‘MicroBachelors’ Program - Jeffrey R. Young, EdSurge

In December, edX won a $700,000 grant from the Lumina Foundation to support the MicroBachelors effort with the organization’s university partners. Officials from edX declined to talk about the project, saying only that it is in the early stages. But at a higher-education innovation summit last month hosted by the U.S. Department of Education, Anant Agarwal, CEO of edX, listed the project as part of the group’s long-term vision that began with its MicroMasters program. And the organization has filed a trademark for the term “MicroBachelors” as well. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2018-01-25-edx-quietly-developing-microbachelors-program
