MicroMasters Program in Finance (MMFin) courses are delivered online, asynchronously. They are not conducted live, in real-time. The video content of the courses is pre-recorded, allowing learners to access and view released course material at any time that is convenient for them. This asynchronous learning approach provides flexibility, allowing learners to work on the course content and assignments according to their own schedules.
In addition to the pre-recorded video content, each course includes in-course discussion forums where learners can engage in discussions and seek support from the course TA team. The TA team actively monitors these forums to provide assistance and guidance to learners.
The MMFin MicroMasters Program's five Content Courses are offered in a Self-Paced format. Each session of an MMFin Content Course runs for around 17-18 weeks. Well-prepared learners can expect to complete an MMFin Content Course in approximately 12 weeks, provided around 10-14 hours of effort per week, so the course sessions allow learners additional time to learn the material and complete the coursework at their own pace.
The MMFin MicroMasters program's Comprehensive Final Exam (CFx) is offered as an Instructor-Paced course. The CFx is offered twice each year, in the Spring and Fall.
