Program Updates

The MicroMasters Program in Finance is excited to share upgrades to the program that will improve the learner experience while continuing to offer career-changing educational opportunities to learners around the world.

Transition to Self-Paced Courses

The MicroMasters Program in Finance is transitioning all courses to an on-demand, self-paced format, in which all course content is available as soon as you enroll, and you can work through the course material at your own pace and on your own schedule.

Below are the start dates for on-demand, self-paced courses.

Comprehensive Final Exam (CFx)

• Learners will now take one proctored Comprehensive Final Exam (CFx), instead of five Course-Level proctored exams.
• The CFx will test learners on content from all five courses.
• The CFx will be offered two times per year.
• Learners who wish to earn the program credential will take the CFx after earning a certificate in all 5 courses in the program.
• In order to take the CFx, learners must first earn a certificate in all 5 courses in the program.
• All learners eligible to take the CFx will be automatically enrolled in each session of the course before its scheduled start date. Learners cannot manually enroll themselves in the CFx.
• The cost of the CFx aligns with the cost of other courses in the program ($549). However, learners who purchased the program bundle or have earned at least one course certificate prior to September 20, 2023 may take one CFx at no cost through the end of 2025.
