Digital Product Management MicroMasters Program by Boston University
What does it take to be successful in today's digital economy? How do you deal with the disruption brought on by digital technologies, changing business models, and a changing workforce? As businesses increasingly rely on digital technologies, digital leaders are in high demand. These leaders are technologically savvy, data-driven, and capable of inspiring teams to engage in rapid experimentation, which drives transformation and business outcomes.
Given the magnitude of digital disruptions, digital leaders' skills and perspectives are now required in every industry and job function: from operations to human resources; accounting to product development; marketing to strategy. This MicroMasters program is the most expensive on our list of product management courses, but it is also the most advanced. Boston University offers it online, and it can be combined with on-campus learning as part of a Master of Science in Digital Technology degree. The entire program takes eight months to complete, and the curriculum includes five graduate-level courses. Fidelity Investments and Boston Globe Media have both endorsed the program, which covers topics like Strategic Social Media Marketing and Driving Digital Innovation through Experimentation. You can take the courses in any order, but you'll need some product management experience and high school algebra to follow along with the material.
