Future Minds Academy (FMA) has introduced the NextGEN Degree, a revolutionary alternative to the traditional bachelor's degree. NextGEN Degree is based on the MIT white paper known as ProjectNei.

WINDERMERE, Fla., Dec. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a groundbreaking move, Future Minds Academy (FMA) has introduced the NextGEN Degree, a revolutionary alternative to the traditional bachelor's degree. This innovative program is set to redefine education by incorporating the latest advancements in technology and learning methodologies. Based on the principles outlined in the MIT white paper known as ProjectNei, the NextGEN Degree places a strong emphasis on practical skills and real-world experiences.

The Four Pillars of NextGEN Degree

Future Minds Academy's NextGEN Degree redefines education with a focus on stackable certifications, real-world experiences, and industry validation. It's not just a degree; it's a dynamic pathway to success in the ever-evolving landscape of specialized skills and innovation.

The NextGEN Degree program is structured around four key criteria, each designed to ensure students acquire a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge in their chosen field.

1) Certifications

A cornerstone of the NextGEN Degree is the accumulation of stackable certifications. Students embark on a journey of continuous learning, completing courses tailored to their chosen degree program. Each certificate earned contributes to the overall qualification, providing a tangible representation of the skills mastered.

2) Interviews

Upon the completion of each course, students undergo a one-on-one interview with either their professor or a senior peer student. This interactive process ensures a thorough understanding of the material and promotes effective communication and critical thinking skills.

3) Paid Gigs

To graduate with a NextGEN Degree, students must undertake a specific number of paid gigs, which are essentially small projects relevant to their field of study. This requirement reflects the program's commitment to bridging the gap between academia and industry, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.

4) Verifiers

Every project within the courses undertaken by students requires validation from subject matter experts in the relevant field. Verifiers play a crucial role in confirming the quality and accuracy of the work, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to meet industry standards.
