Overview
Space, the final frontier. Many of us have heard this phrase in our lives but how many of us believed we could actually explore that frontier? Regardless of your major or area of expertise, if you are interested in being a part of space, the Pathway to Space Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado Boulder is for you. Our species has only scratched the surface of understanding the cosmos.
Key facts
- To further our knowledge of the universe requires the skills and talents of all people. Enter this specialization saying, “I like space…” and exit it saying, “I better understand space and have an idea of the path I can take to be a part of its exploration.”
- Pathway to Space is a discussion based course, in which learners have the opportunity to critically and creatively think about their place in the cosmos and their relationship to space. In addition, learners will test their knowledge through a series of short quizzes along the way.
