What’s a MicroMasters® program?

A MicroMasters® program is a series of higher-level courses derived from Universities master’s programs and endorsed by companies for relevant job advancement and deeper learning in a specific subject area. Students verifying, completing, and passing all courses in a MicroMasters® program receive an edX MicroMasters® credential, which can count towards Master’s degree credit if the learner applies to the university offering the credential and is accepted.

MicroMasters® program offerings allow learners to demonstrate capacity and mastery of material for a given career area, and enable edX partners to showcase the educational offerings of their institutions as well as viewing the capabilities and drive of potential student applicants to on-campus programs.
