this is BS. "may apply to a ms after completion". and what's the admission rate? э I can guarantee you. every single school has a certificate program like this that has 0 value as a credential. it's funny to think that what came out of the mooc learning revolution of the last 10 years was not access to opportunity but a way for universities to further monetize content - even at at 100 per student they've cleared almost a million dollars in revenue per course at such low margins (professors just repurpose existing lectures). and I'm sure many many gullible people pay more than 100 per credit. further proves the point that these institutions are not bastions of knowledge but very successful businesses. if you really want to have your mind blown check out Harvard's OPM program.
