Coursera has announced partnerships with 15 public universities across the United States to deliver fully accredited bachelor's and master's degrees entirely online. Tuition for the new programs ranges from $10,000 to $22,000 per degree, significantly below traditional on-campus costs.

The initiative targets working adults and non-traditional students who need flexible scheduling. Programs span high-demand fields including computer science, nursing administration, data analytics, and business management. All courses are asynchronous, allowing students to complete coursework on their own schedules.
