What is the average duration of a course?

Asked 5 months ago
The average duration of a course on Coursera can vary significantly depending on the specific course and its subject matter. Generally, most courses are designed to be completed in a timeframe of four to six weeks, with a typical commitment of three to five hours per week. However, some courses may be shorter, lasting just a few weeks, while others can extend for several months, especially when they are part of a specialization or professional certificate program. The platform offers a wide range of courses, so learners will find different durations that accommodate various learning paces and schedules. For specific course details, including duration, interested individuals can visit the course page directly on the Coursera website, which provides comprehensive information about each offering.
