In a pilot project announced Wednesday, students will be able to take a semester of free online courses in one of MIT's graduate programs and then, if they pay a "modest fee" of about $1,500 and pass an exam, they will earn a MicroMaster's credential, the school said.
If the trial fee is $1500, I'm not sure they'd go right back to $150
- anamexis 11y ago> The cost of the MicroMaster's includes $150 for each of the five online classes, plus up to $800 to take the exam. So, sounds like $150 up front for each course, and then $800 to tie it all up with the exam, for $1500 total.
