To make it easier for prospective students to find online learning opportunities at Duke, we created Online Duke. Online Duke is a searchable catalog of all Duke’s publicly offered digital courses – both directly through Duke and those on Coursera – and digital programs offered by Duke’s professional schools.

From MOOCs to alumni exclusives to master’s degrees, Online Duke brings together all of Duke’s digital learning in one searchable, sortable location.


Alternative Credentials

Design and integrate alternative credentials into your course or academic program.

Alternative credentials are learning experiences or programs smaller than degrees, such as certificates, micro-credentials, industry certifications and other non-degree qualifications, in which successful completion involves acquisition of specific competencies or skills as assessed and verified by the program provider.
