Does anyone have any insight or thoughts on something like this ? It is faster and cheaper than a masters. https://onlineexeced.mccombs.utexas.edu/...k-you-page

Yes, it's going to be faster than a Master's.

Here's their $10,000 Master's online program

It's a non-credit certificate no different from a Coursera certificate. Why would anyone want to pay $3,800 when they can get the same education elsewhere for free?

When this program first came out a few years ago, they lied that this program granted UT alumni status. I checked with UT McCombs and this does not lead to any alumni status with the school. It's completely run by Great Learning with just a stamp from UT Austin.

I see a lot of people on LinkedIn with this qualification who claim UT as their alma mater. It's like taking those HBS Online certificates and claiming they are "HBS Alumni".
