<p>I.e. completing courses from Udacity, Coursea, edX that are relevant to your major</p>
<p>well that’s 60 views and 0 responses. This isn’t Project Euler, I’m just trying to gather some opinions.</p>
<p>Sure, anything that shows you have interest in your major doesn’t hurt to put down.</p>
<p>I think MOOCs are too new for there to be much of a consensus on how significant statements of accomplishment might be to an admission committee of a college or university you are applying to. To me it would seem like a demonstration of passion for learning and perseverence since very few people who start a MOOC actually successfully complete it. On the other hand some might rather see time not spent in regular classes used for volunteering, sports or other non-academically oriented ECs.</p>
<p>I don’t know if ECs are the best place for them, but if no better place presents itself, yeah, put them in there. They should go somewhere.</p>
