What is a Microasters program from MIT?

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) provides online education to students through several MITx MicroMasters programs including Data, Economics, and Design of Policy (DEDP) and the MITx Micromasters program in Statistics and Data Science, or SDS.

The MITx MicroMasters in Data, Economics, and Development Policy was developed and taught by professors in MIT's Department of Economics in collaboration with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).
MIT’s Department of Economics and the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) designed the MicroMasters® program in Data, Economics, and Design of Policy (DEDP) to equip learners with both practical skills and theoretical knowledge to address pressing global challenges. Taught by esteemed Economics faculty at MIT, including the program’s faculty directors Esther Duflo, Abhijit Banerjee, Sara Fisher Ellison, and Benjamin Olken, the program offers graduate-level courses that combine the modern tools of economics and policy design with a strong foundation in economic and mathematical principles.
The core curriculum covers essential topics such as economics, probability and statistics, data analysis, and designing and running randomized evaluations to assess the effectiveness of social programs. Esther Duflo and Abhijit Banerjee, winners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences and pioneers in development economics, contribute their expertise on methodologies for poverty alleviation.
