麻省理工和开放教学奖学金计划一道将创办两项全新的“微硕士”计划，包括阿拉伯世界目前尚未讲授的所谓STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）学科5项为期12周的课程。
Together, MIT and the Open Learning Scholars Program will create two new “MicroMasters” programs consisting of five 12-week courses in so-called STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) that are not currently taught in the Arab world.
