How selective is the DEDP Master’s Program?

The DEDP master’s is a rigorous and competitive program. However, because the program is only open to students who have earned the MicroMasters credential, there are significantly fewer applicants than typically expected for a master’s program. With this in mind, the admissions committee relies heavily on MicroMasters course scores to inform acceptance decisions. Although the admissions rate varies from year to year, we typically receive around 100 applications from MicroMasters credential-holders and target a cohort of 20 students.
