Frequently asked questions
The cost of an online master's degree will depend on the program you’re interested in attending. You’ll find a range of flexible options on Coursera, where many master’s programs offer pay-as-you-go tuition. That means you only pay for the courses you take, so if you need to take a term off, you won't be charged during that time.
There are many ways to pay for graduate school. You may be eligible for scholarships, financial aid, or employer tuition benefits to help cover the cost of your degree. To learn more about these options and tuition costs, please visit the degree page for your program of interest. If you need additional funding, you can explore the resources on our Financial Resources Hub.
Flexibility is a priority on Coursera given the competing responsibilities many learners may have as they embark on their graduate education. Some master's programs, such as the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Master of Science in Management, can be completed in as little as one year. Other master’s degree programs may take two years or more to complete.
You can find more information about the program duration by visiting the degree page for the program you’re interested in.
Master’s degrees on Coursera come from accredited universities, which ensures the standard and quality of your education. The education you receive in an online degree program may match that of an in-person degree program. The difference is in how you learn—aka the learning modality.
Coursera’s degree partners may offer an array of modalities, including live video lectures that encourage collaborative discussion and asynchronous courses that allow for independent exploration. Throughout your learning journey, you'll have access to a dedicated support team, course facilitators, and a network of peers to help you achieve your academic goals.
