Edx launches more Masters - MNomadic - 10-10-2018
https://www.edx.org/masters
8 masters programs total with a few more still "coming soon"
4 of them are in the sub $10k-15k range while the other 4 are $20k-30k. A few are in AUD, so multiply by 0.71 to get the cost in USD.

I was wondering when these would launch. Some interesting programs but some still seem a bit pricey but its a start in the right direction for affordability. I wonder if it is a like a MOOC that can be done at the students own speed or more like a traditional online course? That might make it interesting.

Most of the for-credit and verified certificate MOOCs I've seen are offered on a schedule.

I love these!! Between edX and Coursera, I think this is a fantastic catalog!

For anyone who's interested in the Georgia Tech OMS Analytics degree, they also offer a micromasters for $1500 which can be applied towards 9 credits of the full degree. Not only does that offer a chance to augment your application to the full degree program but it ends up saving you an extra grand($975+ fees) on an already affordable program.

I'm really curious what school will be offering that Psych Masters
RE: Edx launches more Masters - Supermind - 10-11-2018
Yes. Me too. Actually, I got a promo email from Edx about 2 months ago to sign up if I am interested in a Psych. Masters course, and they will let me know when it is offered. So, I have expressed my interest.

This is such a weird answer.
Transfer credit is generally not accepted. If you complete the Analytics: Essential Tools and Methods MicroMasters program through edX and choose to continue your studies in analytics by applying to the OMS Analytics, you may apply for advance standing credit. Courses from this edX MicroMasters program may be considered for credit, but Georgia Tech cannot guarantee that credit will be granted.

Yeah a lot of those micromasters have really noncommittal transfer answers like that.

That's not the first time I've seen that verbiage. I think the schools don't like to admit they're taking these courses as transfer credit.
