Today we’re welcoming 29 new universities to the Coursera community of 2.7 million students and 33 existing universities across 4 continents!

“With the addition of so many new courses across a wide range of disciplines, languages and academic approaches, we are 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.

With all the excitement around our new schools and courses, we want to send a warm thank you to all of our incredible universities, professors and students for your continued participation and support!
