The online courses of the MITx MicroMasters program in Data, Economics, and Development Policy offer the same challenge and learning as the residential courses taught at MIT. In fact, most of the online courses' lectures are recorded in real MIT classroom settings, so you’ll be able to experience lectures in the same way residential students at MIT experience them! The questions we’ll ask you to work through in your assignments are also very similar to the problem sets and assignments that MIT students complete for these courses. We use MITx Online as a means to deliver world-class educational content to a global audience, accessible to anyone with the willingness to learn.
