View this email in your browser Dear MITx Learner, Today MIT announced the new MITx MicroMasters credential in Data, Economics and Development Policy. This program is co-designed by MIT’s Department of Economics and J-PAL, a leader in conducting randomized evaluations in social policy settings. The program consists of five online courses that will provide learners with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to examine and address some of the most pressing problems facing the world’s poor from an evidence-driven perspective. Our records show that you enrolled but didn’t finish at least one of the courses that are now part of this MicroMasters program. You can now enroll again and start your path to obtain the MicroMasters credential! Learners who successfully obtain the MicroMasters credential will be eligible to apply to MIT’s new master of Data, Economics, and Development Policy program. If accepted, students will earn MIT credit for the MicroMasters courses, and will be able to pursue an accelerated on-campus Master’s degree at MIT. Only students who have earned the MicroMasters credential will be considered for admission to the master’s program at MIT, with performance in the MicroMasters classes being a key selection criterion. We hope you join us on this exciting journey. Remember to sign up now to be on track to earn the MITx MicroMasters credential in DEDP. Courses launch in February.
