Coursera bets on degrees — a small but growing part of the business - Natalie Schwartz, Higher Ed Dive

Coursera, a decade-old MOOC platform, plans to continue growing its degree business, CEO Jeff Maggioncalda said during a call with analysts Thursday to discuss the company's annual earnings. The company has launched 13 new degrees with colleges since 2021, bringing the total number of bachelor's, master's and postgraduate degrees up to 38, according to Maggioncalda. "Students want the flexibility to learn online, and universities are responding by scaling online degree programs using partners like Coursera to meet demand," he said.
