Rise Of MOOC Based Degree Programs

MOOC started with a promise-delivering high-quality education from top-

notch universities across the globe without massive tuition. MOOC courses,
especially through grouping related courses (Coursera Specializations,
Udacity Nano-degrees etc.) can be useful for a student to build relevant
skills. However, as the day progresses, MOOCs have started to offer
graduate degrees as well. A few notable ones are,

1. GaTech OMSCS (Udacity)

2. UIUC iMBA (Coursera)
3. UIUC MCS-DS (Coursera)

A few organizations, such as edX provide online courses that bear

academic credits. Some of these course groups (Micromasters, as edX
calls) can help a student to fetch a place at prestigious programs such as
MIT's SCM degree.

MOOC courses are accessible to the people from all over the world. All one
needs to have a good internet connection and that's all it takes to enroll in
some of the finest courses from top schools.
