We offer six for-credit sessions per year lasting eight weeks each. With the flexibility to enroll when you want to and take a break if you need it, the MS-CS on Coursera fits your schedule—not the other way around. Enrollment windows open two weeks before courses start and close two weeks before they end. When you’re enrolled in the for-credit version of a course, assignments are due by the last day of the eight-week session.
