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.
Summer 2025 Session 2 classes will be 5 weeks instead of 8 weeks. Ensure you have enough time to complete all course content before the for-credit session ends on Aug. 1. CU Boulder will not issue extensions for incomplete work.
