Coursera launches first US online bachelor’s degree
Coursera, the online learning platform, is extending its reach in traditional postsecondary education, announcing it would offer a bachelor’s degree for the first time from a U.S. university.
The University of North Texas, a public research institution, will work with Coursera to offer an online bachelor of applied arts and sciences starting this fall that is tailored to the needs of students who have some college credit.
This is the latest example of an online education provider trying to broach the undergraduate education market, though other attempts have yielded mixed results.
