We are pleased to share that we have partnered with Extended Education to offer
free access to thousands of professional courses through Coursera.
Through Extended Education’s subscription to
Coursera Career Academy Plus, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows can access a wide range of courses and professional certificates designed to help build in-demand skills and strengthen career prospects, whether inside or outside academia and
build additional opportunities for professional development.
With Coursera, you can:
· Build
on your skills in data analysis, AI, project management, leadership, and much more
· Earn
industry-recognized certificates
· Learn
at your own pace from top universities and global companies
To see the courses and professional learning options currently available to you through Coursera, visit:

This resource is available
at no cost to you.
How to get access
To request access, you must be
currently registered in the Fall 2026 term. Please fill out the Coursera
License Request Form to request a license. Once your eligibility has been confirmed and a license is assigned, you will receive instructions to activate your account and begin learning.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and begin exploring courses today. Your license will
remain active until November 30, 2026, from the date it is issued.
A limited number of licenses are available and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that there is only one additional licensing wave planned
after this one, so learners enrolling in longer courses should be aware that they may not have sufficient time to complete them before their access ends.
