ASU 100 Million Learners - All graduate courses now available

[Vle045]

I wish they would have included the actual fees.

[NotJoeBiden]

So are they officially open to get credit now?

[Vle045]

I got the following email yesterday, so at this point I assumed we are to just apply and go from there.

Hello Michael -

Thank you for your participation in the advanced program of the Najafi 100 Million Learners Global Initiative (100ML).

Learners interested in obtaining academic credit for the advanced program can do so by following these steps:
1. Complete and submit the for-credit comprehensive written projects for each course.
2. Request evaluation of final projects and coursework by Thunderbird faculty for a final academic letter grade (Evaluation request fee required).
3. Apply and earn admittance to the graduate program at Arizona State University (Application fee required).
4. Request to obtain academic credits from ASU at a low cost for each course that has been awarded a satisfactory grade of B or higher (Credit processing fees are required for each course).
5. Once academic credits for all five courses have been attained, learners can choose to apply their academic credit toward Thunderbird's online graduate programs or transfer the academic credits from Thunderbird/ASU to an accepting accredited institution of their choice.

The payment system for academic credit attainment will be available soon. At that time learners who have completed all five courses in the advanced program will be notified provided with the next steps at that time.

In the meantime, we encourage you to connect with Thunderbird's graduate admissions team (admissions.tbird@thunderbird.asu.edu) to learn more about our online graduate degree programs, their costs, scholarship opportunities for 100ML participants, and how 100ML course credits (once obtained) may be applied to online Thunderbird programs.

For additional questions or concerns regarding our courses, please email 100mlsupport@thunderbird.asu.edu.

Thank you,

Notice there's no costs listed? Seems like a lot to pay for for a program that was supposed to be free.

To be fair, the program is free.  They never said converting the free certificates to credit would be free.  They always said for a fee, the certificates could be converted to credits.  If you don’t need the credits but would like the knowledge and a certificate, that is available for free

Right but look at how many fees there are now. It seemed like the whole point of the program was to complete the certificate. Anyone can claim they took a class but without proof, you've got nothing unfortunately.

You get a certificate and a badge.  It’s just not college credit for free.  But still wish we knew the actual fees.
