How does Coursera make money?


Career Services
A recruiting service that connects passionate and committed Coursera students with positions
that match their skills and interests
The service used sophisticated analytics to match students to companies
Coursera charged companies a flat fee for introduction to matched students. The revenue would
be shared with the university whose courses the student had registered for

Signature Track
Introduced in January 2013
Signature Track securely links coursework to real identity via a verified certificate, which costs
between $30 to $100.
Almost a year later, Coursera had hit $4 million in revenues through 25,000 sales of verified
certificates among its 4.7 million students.

Specializations

To obtain a Specialization certification, a student has to earn a verified certificate in each of the
course listed under that Specialization. The final step is a capstone project.
Snapdeal and Shazam have partnered with The Wharton School, while Instagram will work with
University of California, San Diego and 500 Startups with University of Maryland
