MiniMaster Certificates: Your Post-Bachelor's Credential Guide

MiniMaster Certificates: Your Post-Bachelor’s Credential Guide

A MiniMaster certificate from Continents International University is a post-bachelor credential delivered online, with courses in fields such as business, leadership, and healthcare. It is the university’s own program name for a short set of graduate-level courses. One confusion in the earlier version needs clearing up. It described MIT’s MicroMasters as a MiniMaster certificate offering. That is wrong.

MIT’s program is a series of graduate-level courses whose completers can apply to accelerated on-campus master’s programs at MIT or other participating universities. If you are comparing a MiniMaster with other options, keep the programs separate and judge each on its own course list. The guide to choosing the right course page explains how to compare CIU’s courses, the enrollment guide sets out the application steps, and the overview of post-bachelor credentials explains the MiniMaster credential format in more detail.
