Online masters in UX design or human computer interaction - Sara143 - 12-07-2023
Is there schools in India or any other country who accept online students from US? If they are offering UX design or human computer interaction ?
In US it’s more then 10k fee for these programs. I check WGU and I am not interested in it
Thanks

Yes, of course it is legit. What program are you looking at?

In short... Coursera, Edx, FutureLearn, Udacity, and other MOOC's mentioned on the board are class/course providers, they do provide 'professional certificates' but are not authorized to confer degrees. So, think of them as Sophia.org, Study.com, or other ACE/NCCRS providers we mention, they provide the class and partner with an institution to grant the degree.
Example, you've taken Sophia.org, Study.com, and whatever ACE credits and transferred to UMPI for a degree. When you finish, you have a 'legit' degree as it's granted by a public/state institution. For Coursera and Edx, it's the same, they partner with somewhat well known universities and you get a 'legit' degree in the end from a public/state or private non-profit institution.

Putting legit in quotes usually implies the opposite.
Yes, UMPI is legit. The degrees on Coursera/edX are also legit/real.

Coursera is one of the go to choice

Haha, yeah, I was more poking fun at the 'legit' and not implying the opposite... But, that's true, people need to understand that you're taking classes elsewhere and transferring them into the degree/institution of choice. Coursera and Edx are the most recommended MOOC for these, I highly recommend them as it's a major discount on cost than the butt-in-seat or other online programs from the exact same university!
