What are MicroMasters Programs
MicroMasters programs provide ambitious learners with a flexible path to a master’s degree and help them gain deep knowledge applicable to their careers along the way. These rigorous programs allow learners to experience graduate-level coursework from top universities without filling out an application, taking a standardized test, or committing to a full master’s degree program. After completing and passing a MicroMasters program, learners can apply to a full master’s degree in an associated university program.
