What is EdX MicroMasters?
Are you considering enrolling in a Master's level program in Maternal and Child Health? Are you interested in gaining exposure to graduate coursework beforehand?
EdX MicroMasters gives you the chance to take up to five online courses in MCH, with the potential to transfer those credits to your Master's degree once you start your graduate program. The first course launches Oct. 10 and the rest launch in December.
What makes EdX MicroMasters so unique?
To address health challenges and improve the lives of women, children, and youth globally, you’ll learn practical skills, including how to interpret research data and apply it, along with health behavior change theories and developing innovative programs and interventions. In a course on women’s health, you’ll also learn how to impact health policy and create beneficial change at the population level.
As a final check on what you’ve learned, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your new skills in a capstone project. You’ll be presented with real-world MCH scenarios and challenged to apply what you’ve learned in the four preceding courses, using critical thinking and creativity.
