There are six for-credit sessions per year lasting eight weeks each. With the flexibility to enroll when you want and take a break if you need it, the MS-ECE on Coursera fits your schedule. Enrollment opens two weeks prior to the start of classes and closes two weeks before the end of the course.

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.
