Institutions such as Georgía Tech, the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Indiana offer more affordable online master’s degrees in edX than on-campus format.
Traditional master’s degrees are expensive. For instance, for a foreign student, a degree at Georgia Tech can cost up to $49,000 –not considering expenses generated when changing residence. However, in some online educational platforms that same program costs less than $10,000.
The postgraduate offer needs to adapt to the new technologies and respond to the needs of students and recruiters; the development of specialized programs are required in new fields of study; these new degrees need to be flexible and affordable.
