Move over University of Phoenix, MIT has announced that
you can now obtain a highly-regarded Masters degree in Supply Chain Management
(mainly) online. The new 14-week credential is called a MicroMaster's and will
be open to anyone and once completed students can get a verified certificate
documenting their hard work for a small fee. Undertaken via edX, it is the first MITx
course that can be put towards the full master’s program, meaning the
remainder of the course is only one on-campus semester. "The new
combination of online courses and one residential semester will open the SCM
program to many more learners," said Professor Yossi Sheffi who runs the
SCM program and its online components. By making it open to anyone for free the
college is recruiting those who are determined and driven, but aren't sure they
can afford a traditional Master's program.
