The world\u2019s first open online MBA will launch in 2015 after a landmark decision from a top business school which is expected to pave the way for further digitization of the business degree and disrupt an already shaken education market.<\/p>\n

The University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign College of Business has received the seal of approval from its senate to launch the \u201ciMBA\u201d, in collaboration with Coursera, the $300 million-plus Silicon Valley start-up that produces MOOCs and has amassed nearly 13 million users.<\/p>\n

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign plans to start a low-cost online M.B.A. program in partnership with Coursera, the Silicon Valley-based MOOC provider, hoping to meet its land-grant mission of improving access and also to create a new stream of revenue at a time of shrinking state support for higher education.<\/p>\n

Students enrolling in the new online master\u2019s program, dubbed the iMBA,<\/a> could complete the entire degree for about $20,000 \u2014 far less than the approximately $50,000 for the on-campus version or the $100,000 for the university\u2019s executive M.B.A.<\/p>\n
