How long Introduction to UX Design MasterTrack Certificate Program really takes

University of Minnesota lists Introduction to UX Design MasterTrack Certificate Program at 5 hours. Treat that as the floor rather than the estimate. Published durations count video and reading time; they do not count re-watching, note-taking, or the time you lose to an exercise that will not compile. A realistic planning figure is roughly one and a half to two times the listed length.

This matters directly to cost when the course is subscription-based, because the time it takes you is what you are actually paying for.

What 49 ratings tell you

A 4.1 average is below what most well-regarded courses on the platform hold. With 49 ratings behind it, that is unlikely to be a sampling artifact, and it is worth understanding the specific objection before committing time. 14,452 learners have enrolled in total.

Enrolment counts are cumulative and include everyone who signed up, not everyone who finished. On free and subscription courses in particular, enrolment is a much weaker signal than the rating, because signing up costs nothing.
