Most courses at Coursera do not offer any college credit. However, there is one notable exception: the [https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support Google IT Support Professional certificate]. Although it says that it will take 3-6 months to complete, it is possible to complete this certificate in one month. One student even reportedly completed the course during the 7-day trial, making it completely free. This ACE-recommended course is worth 3-12 credits depending on the school.

It will not transfer to [[Charter Oak State College|COSC]]. It is unknown if it will transfer to [[Excelsior College|Excelsior]].
