What's your opinion on MicroMasters programs?

Yeah, there are a couple of ways these courses could be helpful if one can get a transcript from the school. The graduate credits can be helpful for teaching, or they can be transferred to another graduate or undergraduate program. I'm assuming they won't generate a transcript until the student completes a regular course, but it might be worth it to apply and gain acceptance if they'll generate a transcript at that point. I just wish these could be converted to graduate certificates from the accredited colleges offering them rather than a MicroMasters from edX.

Edit: RIT's Advanced Certificate in Project Management is only 12 credit hours, and the edX courses account for 9 of those credits. They offer project management courses online. The bad part is that, even though the courses are only $150 each, the capstone exam is $600.

I will be keeping my eye out on this program. Something to do while I apply for grad programs. I like the idea of project management this would be pretty sweet.
