  Would you provide the actual bit you're interpreting? These are the words I see: ------------- Who is this MicroMasters Program intended for? The MicroMasters Program in Artificial Intelligence is intended for those who have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Mathematics and have a basic understanding of statistics, college level algebra, calculus and comfort with programming languages. ------------- I don't see it mentioning anything contrary to the above statement. The micro-masters wouldn't be a full fledged master's degree, but could allow admission to receive a full masters (per the below): ------------- Complete, pass and earn a Verified Certificate in all four courses to receive your MicroMasters Credential. Learners who successfully earn the MicroMasters Credential are eligible to apply to the Master of Computer Science program at Columbia University. ------------- Maybe I misunderstood you.

    Other than the tagline "A series of credit-eligible courses recognized by industry", this is the only reference I found to course credit: > Take your Credential to the Next Level > If a student applies to the Master of Computer Science program at Columbia and is accepted, the MicroMasters Credential will count toward 25% of the coursework or 7.5 of the 30 credits required for graduation from the on campus Master of Computer Science program. This part: "Learners who successfully earn the MicroMasters Credential are eligible to apply to the Master of Computer Science program at Columbia University" doesn't seem to mean anything. Isn't everyone already eligible to apply?
