Coursera has grown its footprint since launching in 2012 to offer massive online open courses (MOOCs). It now has a learner base of 40 million, with 3,200 courses and 310 specializations that can be completed over time and “stacked” to form a full degree or certificate or count toward an existing program at a partner institution. It also offers more than a dozen master’s degrees in topics such as business, computer science, data science and public health.
In 2016, the company made a formal move into workforce development with Coursera for Business. The enterprise platform gives companies access to courses developed by partner universities and companies.
