Arizona State University is never shy about going big! Check this out:
The Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University plans to launch a new global management and entrepreneurship online certificate program that will offer five free online business courses in 40 languages worldwide and aims to reach 100 million learners by 2030, 70 percent of them women.
The program was announced by the university Thursday and will be funded by a $25 million alumni gift matched by in-kind donations from the business school and the university, which will bring the business school at least halfway to the $100 million goal for launching the program across the next two years, said Sanjeev Khagram, dean of the business school.
Or is this vapor program/course-ware? This, to me, is a big tell:
Khagram [dean, ASU's business school] said he is working with the university to ensure the certificate can be converted for college credits.
In my experience this may be a surmountable hurdle, but many moons must first align.
Will this certificate program get off the planning board? This will be fun to watch!
