Open to everyone, on-demand non-credit courses are an affordable way to learn about computer science. Courses are free for Penn Engineering alumni and low cost for all.

If you’re a graduate of Penn Engineering, we invite you to reconnect with the Penn academic community by enrolling in a stand-alone course for credit. Taught by leading Penn faculty members, each course provides a fully immersive and supported experience, with live office hours, and TA support.

You can take courses on an individual basis or apply your credits toward a degree or certificate program. Fees are charged on a per course unit basis.


Earn a Certificate

The Online Graduate Certificate is a special for-credit credential opportunity to dive deep into a fast-growing sector with only two additional courses that complement a Penn Engineering degree. Whether you choose Data Science or Software Systems, you’ll gain skills and knowledge that will set you apart in the job market.
