MITx Impact Report

Highlights of the 2023-24 Academic Year
Dear Friend of MITx,

Just about every semester, someone turns to an MITx MOOC (massive open online course) to learn or improve their knowledge of a subject, grow their skillset, and be in community with fellow learners around the world. We deeply appreciate your time, energy, and trust in learning with MIT.

This past academic year, we’ve added 20 courses to our growing catalog of MOOCs, welcomed over 643,000 learners who registered for a course, and celebrated the 23,642 learners who earned a certificate in our rigorous courses. We'd also like to highlight the 1,189 learners who earned their MicroMasters Credential. We commend and appreciate the 49,124 who bought a certificate – which helps with the cost of providing these free MOOCs.

What makes these successes more meaningful is hearing from you and learners like Dustin who used the knowledge he gained in a calculus course to predict his white blood cell count while he was undergoing cancer treatment. And Silva Branco Magalhães who told us earning his credential in the MicroMasters in Statistics and Data Science program helped him on his path to an advanced degree at Northwestern University.

As we begin gearing up for an excellent fall, here’s a look back at some milestones from this last academic year. We hope you enjoy all of the educational choices available to you and continue to keep MITx in mind as you enhance your knowledge and grow your expertise.

Sincerely,
Dana

I have grown so much personally and professionally just from having access to the rich knowledge offered through MOOCs. I felt indebted and was happy to be able to make a modest contribution.

“Today, I am an owner and founder of a social enterprise advocating for sustainability, education, and local business/brand empowerment. My journey with MITx ensured me that I can stand through different challenges by innovating and being involved with people in all facets of life.”

“Before learning about MITx, I had difficulty looking for nearby classes offering machine learning. The rigor of the materials and the expertise of the professors and recitation teachers contributed significantly to my comprehension of theory and practice of the various topics. The course fees are significantly less costly than another equivalent educational path. It was a time well-spent for my own personal and professional growth.”
