Coursera online education platform, is welcoming 29 new universities to the online learning community of 2.7 million students and 33 existing universities across 4 continents. With this development, the online education provider is nearly doubling the amount of schools offering courses on the platform, creating diverse learning opportunities for students.
16 of the 29 new universities are international, and courses from these institutions will be available in French, Spanish, Chinese and Italian. Many of the schools are also leaders in their respective fields, from business and medicine to engineering and the arts.
“With the addition of so many new courses across a wide range of disciplines, languages and academic approaches, the online education platform is now able to meet the needs of a more diverse student body, and give students more academic options to explore,” said our co-founder, Andrew Ng.
