Re: [DIYbio] Re: Stanford University: Technology enterpreneurship (1 month course)

Yes, there are certainly many accredited online courses - Berkeley famously has an entire masters degree in data science at the eye-watering price of $60,000, and some high schools have switched their math curriculum to Kahn Academy.   So yes there are accredited online courses,  but this is just not one of them.

Personally/IMHO, I think if what you are after is learning entrepreneurship, accreditation is not useful - by definition. You need academic credentials to get hired somewhere, but if you are your own boss, the only thing that matters is what and whom you know. Successful entrepreneurs are super-scrappy/frugal and don't pay retail :-)
