BUT, if you're determined, maybe your MBA may allow you to add on a few courses, that might be a nice way to keep your momentum rolling and get everything on a transcript (maybe even an extra certificate?)
Option B) what about a certificate / verification through one of the MOOCs? Good resume booster with tiny cost investment. You could have an entire resume section devoted to "Professional Development" and include them there.
Because I love to research this kind of thing, I found this:
Michigan University (MichiganX) Micromasters "Leading Educational Innovation and Improvement"
https://www.edx.org/micromasters/michiga...innovation
Here's the video promoting the program https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnqtSrfOlU8
Complete 5 edX courses ($940) to receive the MicroMaster's credential. Should you choose to pursue a Masters at Michigan in Educational Leadership and Policy, Teaching and Learning, New Media and Literacy, or Urban Pedagogy - your Micromasters is worth 12 credits! Sweet deal imo.
Oh, this sounds like a great idea. I really have to decide this weekend, so this gives me a lot more options. Thanks!
