省錢又速成的“納米學位”

工作之后想要繼續(xù)深造又覺得上班上課同時進行handle不了？或者覺得念大學太漫長？沒關系，“納米學位”來了。

Nanodegrees are at the other end of the scale from the traditional university degree. For a degree, you spend three years gaining all the skills you need from a broad area. Nanodegrees are focused on what skills you need to learn for a very specific task.

納米學位與傳統(tǒng)的大學學位是一個天平的兩端。念個大學學位，你需要花3年時間獲得一個廣泛領域的所有技能。而納米學位集中傳授一個具體任務所需的技能。

Nanodegree courses are fast gaining popularity among students as they look to avoid the heavy debt burden that usually accompanies a degree program.

納米學位課程在學生中迅速流行開來，因為他們不想承受讀大學學位要面對的沉重的學生貸款負擔。

For example:

Focusing on entry-level software skills, Udacity says its new “NanoDegree” will be offered online, involve less than a year of coursework, and cost about $200 per month. AT&T in turn will offer paid internships to some NanoDegree graduates.

在線教育網(wǎng)站Udacity表示，新的教授入門級軟件技能的“納米學位”將在網(wǎng)上授課，學期不到一年，每月費用約200美元。美國電話電報公司會為一些“納米學位”的畢業(yè)生提供帶薪實習職位。
