MOOC started with a promise-delivering high-quality education from top-
notch universities across the globe without massive tuition. MOOC courses, especially through grouping related courses (Coursera Specializations, Udacity Nano-degrees etc.) can be useful for a student to build relevant skills. However, as the day progresses, MOOCs have started to offer graduate degrees as well. A few notable ones are,
1. GaTech OMSCS (Udacity)
2. UIUC iMBA (Coursera) 3. UIUC MCS-DS (Coursera)
A few organizations, such as edX provide online courses that bear
academic credits. Some of these course groups (Micromasters, as edX calls) can help a student to fetch a place at prestigious programs such as MIT's SCM degree.
MOOC courses are accessible to the people from all over the world. All one needs to have a good internet connection and that's all it takes to enroll in some of the finest courses from top schools.
