I came upon Coursera degrees while exploring courses in data analytics and mergers & acquisitions. Coursera was offering several MBA degrees which were both flexible and affordable, but ultimately I picked IIT as it offered tech-related concentrations that I was interested in such as business analytics and emerging technology. When I think of my decision of why I chose IIT, it comes down to these 4 C’s: caliber of the college, convenience, cost, and completion timeline.
