future is bright.... These certificate programs are being developed as we speak at Ai.

They will not be as valid as a CEU. And what’s the point? Anything Ai or AU will teach as a nano credential can be learned for free elsewhere. Or available as a CEU at a fraction of the cost and time from a reputable source.
It is sad but DCEH will find people foolish enough to take nano classes and hire admissions staff disreputable enough to sell the class as having meaning. It is frustrating for honest people to see what a for profit posing as a nonprofit that really is still a for profit is doing to naive undereducated people just to access their borrowing potential.
Couldn’t recruit enough smart students for the computer science program in Seattle. Jobs are there, but the school is not attracting smart students and there are a lot of boot camp programs not to mention UW.
Students will walk out if Nano Credentials are offered rather than degrees... and online classes are a joke; Ai will experience a mass exodus of students and that will cause the remaining campuses to implode.
Ha! Weren't the "new" tech programs launched in CA, Vegas and Seattle supposed to save Ai? How are those programs working out? Do you really think DCEH will pay the money to recruit the best experr teachers when they could be making bank in the industry? And we all know online is an academic joke, so how the heck can they actually teach an emerging field online?

Nano means extreme smallness or tiny so these would be tiny degrees. Basically the new buzz word in higher education.
