NYT Expands Its Higher-Ed Offerings: Now With Credit!

The New York Times Knowledge Network—its distance-education arm(!), is now offering some of its classes for credit, InsideHigherEd reports.

The Knowledge Network has existed for two years and this semester is offering nearly 50 courses in everything from journalism to history to weight loss to paralegal studies.

What’s new this semester is that the NYT’s partnering with four universities to offer credits toward certificate programs. Ball State University is offering a co-branded certificate in emerging media journalism; Rosemont College is co-sponsoring a certificate in entrepreneurship.
