O.P Jindal Changes Prices on Some Masters

[collegecareerstudent]

For all of those interested, I recently obtained an email (this morning) from O.P. Jindal University. They are changing their prices for the MAPP and Master in International Relations, Security, and Strategy via the partnership with Coursera from 6k to roughly 3k for those who may be interested. The degrees are also being streamlined from a 2 year format to a 1 year format. Per the email:

 

• Fully Online Master’s Degrees
  Both the MA IRSS and MAPP programmes can be completed entirely online via Coursera, offering the flexibility to finish within 12 to 24 months at your own pace.
  
  
• Comprehensive Curricula
  - MA IRSS: A deep dive into 21 core and elective courses on topics such as diplomatic practice, international security, and geopolitical strategy.
  - MAPP: An interdisciplinary curriculum covering public policy theory and practice, including economics, governance, programme design, social sciences, and research methodologies.
  
  
• Specialised Learning Tracks (MAPP Only)
  Choose from two specialisations—Data Analytics or Policy Design—to develop expertise that aligns with your professional goals.
  
  
• Global Faculty Expertise
  Learn from renowned scholars and experienced practitioners in the fields of International Relations, Security, Strategy, and Public Policy, ensuring a blend of theory and real-world insights.
  
  
• Interactive Learning Environment
  Both programmes offer a dynamic mix of pre-recorded lectures and live tutorials, creating an enriching and flexible learning experience.
  
  
• Global Alumni Network
  As a JGU student, you’ll join a prestigious network of professionals and global leaders, offering valuable networking opportunities.
  
  
• Affordable Fees
  The updated fee for both the MA IRSS and MAPP programme is ₹2,50,000, making world-class education even more accessible.

@collegecareerstudent, can you tell us something about the experience, coursework, assessment, etc. of your program?

So, for me, I joined the program a year and a half ago and paid the full 6k price. Everything is on Coursera. There is a 1500-3000 word essay or every class and about 7 quizzes throughout the semester. Videos and transcripts for each lesson, optional live sessions. I have enjoyed the program. When I first started, they had a mandatory group cohort, but thankfully, they got rid of that after several students complained. I highly recommend the program, but I would have waited for the lower cost and faster degree program if I knew that would have been happening. The coursework is reasonable.

Are quizzes and tests proctored? Also, is there a final exam for each course?

The paper for each course is considered the final. The quizzes aren't proctored and students have two attempts at each one to pass.

Any idea when applications will open on Coursera for the spring cohort?

Highly interested in the MIRSS program.

They tend to do it twice a year if memory serves me correctly
 I'd monitor the site.

For the program in question, here's the link: https://www.coursera.org/degrees/ma-inte...rategy-jgu
Hmm, if I'm reading this correctly, their MA Public Policy has a Data Analytics Track, and it uses the Google/IBM Certs! Wow!

And their MBA Business Analytics is here: https://www.coursera.org/degrees/mba-bus...lytics-jgu

[wow]

@collegecareerstudent, What is the pacing like? How many classes can you take at the same time and how long do you have to complete each class? (Obviously this will change since they are shortening the program, but I am just trying to get an idea here.)

I know... Oct and April

the April application is open per the university website but not on Coursera. Just wondering if you had any insight.
