History
Coursera was founded in 2012 by two Stanford Computer Science professors who wanted to share their knowledge and skills with the world. Professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng put their courses online for anyone to take – and taught more learners in a few months than they could have in an entire lifetime in the classroom.
Education
Coursera envisions a world where anyone can transform their life by accessing the best learning.
- Courses
Every course on Coursera is taught by top instructors from the world’s best universities and educational institutions.
- Specializations
If you want to master a specific career skill, consider joining a Specialization. You’ll complete a series of courses, tackle projects based on real business challenges, and earn a Certificate to share with your network.
- Online Degrees
Real career transformation sometimes requires a university-recognized degree. Coursera believes that transformation should be accessible to everyone, so we’ve worked with our university partners to offer flexible, affordable online programs.
