== Introduction == [http://coursera.org/ Coursera] is a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) site where the majority of the courses/certificates that are available are only usable for resume padding and/or to assist with receiving PLA credit. Most of the courses will not directly lead to credit that can be used toward getting your degree. However, some organizations have independently sought [[American Council on Education|ACE]] credit recommendations for certain certificates. These certificates also happen to be available through Coursera. American residents may obtain '''free''' certificates through [https://theamericandreamacademy.org/ The American Dream Academy]. Not all certificates are available and other requirements may need to be met. (Available certificates are marked below with TADA.) Students may complete as many available certificates as they are able to within 6 months of signing up for The American Dream Academy. Although not fully confirmed, based on past experiences, [[Pierpont C&TC|Pierpont]] should give the full recommended amount of credit for all of the certificates listed below. They are ''known'' to give full credits for the Google IT Support Professional certificate. == [https://www.coursera.org/awit Advancing Women in Tech] == The [https://www.advancingwomenintech.org/ Advancing Women in Product] organization (also known as Advancing Women in Tech or AWIP/AWIT) has the goal of increasing the number of women in technology fields. The [[Advancing Women in Tech Coursera Certificates|Coursera specializations]] do not seem to be restricted only to women, however. They are included in [https://www.coursera.org/courseraplus Coursera Plus], otherwise the cost is $79/mo. {| class="wikitable" style="width:90%" |- ! style="width:15%" | Certificate !! style="width:17%" | ACE credit recommendations !! style="width:17%" | PUG equivalency & credits !! style="width:17%" | TESU equivalency & credits !! style="width:17%" | UMPI equivalency & credits !! style="width:17%" | WGU equivalency & credits |- | [https://www.coursera.org/specializations/real-world-cloud-pm Real-World Cloud Product Management Specialization] || 6 total: 3 UL Product Management, 3 UL Cloud Computing Fundamentals || || || || |- | [https://www.coursera.org/specializations/real-world-product-management Real-World Product Management Specialization] || 3 total: 3 LL Introduction to Business Marketing || || || || |- |} == [https://www.coursera.org/deeplearning-ai DeepLearning.AI] == Not included in Coursera Plus.

There may be sales that drop the cost of Coursera Plus to $299/year. Individually, the certificates are $39/mo. (as of March 2022). While it is cheaper to complete the certificates one at a time (provided you only take 1-2 months per certificate), it may be worth it to get Coursera Plus if any of the [https://www.coursera.support/s/article/360036151932-Courses-content-available-on-Coursera-Plus? included non-credit courses/certificates] catch your eye. If you are a resident of Indian or have a VPN set to an Indian location, it is possible to acquire any of the Google Professional Certificates at a significantly discounted rate. You would forfeit the free trial period. The rates (not including taxes) are 1086 INR (~$14 USD) for 1 month, 2173 INR (~$28 USD) for 3 months and 3259 INR (~$42 USD) for 6 months. Simply add the certificate to your cart while connected to an Indian VPN location, and disconnect at the checkout page to avoid triggering fraud warnings with your credit card. The same can be done for other global south countries (e.g. the Philippines, South Africa) for $14 USD. {| class="wikitable" style="width:90%" |- ! style="width:15%" | Certificate !! style="width:17%" | ACE credit recommendations !! style="width:17%" | PUG equivalency & credits !! style="width:17%" | TESU equivalency & credits !! style="width:17%" | UMPI equivalency & credits !! style="width:17%" | WGU equivalency & credits |- |[https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-project-management Project Management] (TADA) |9 total: 3 LL intro to project management, 3 UL project management, 3 UL Agile project management |MT245: Project Fundamentals and Project Initiation MT246: Project Planning and Project Execution MT247: Agile and Scrum Methodologies |MAN-235 Intro to Project Management, MAN-437 Effective Project Management, MAN-438 Mastering Project Management ('''9 credits total''') | | |- |[https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support IT Support Professional] (TADA) |12 total: 6 LL computer information systems, 3 LL cybersecurity, 3 LL computer networking |IN220: Help Desk I IN221: Help Desk II IN222: Help Desk III |CMP-202 Foundations of Info Technology ('''3 credits total''') |COS-1XX Elective |C182 Introduction to IT ('''4 units total'''); satisfies admission requirements for some IT degrees |- |[https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-data-analytics Data Analytics] (TADA) |12 total: 3 LL databases, 3 LL SQL programming, 3 LL systems analysis, 3 LL R programming |IN223: Data Analytics and Decision-Making IN224: Relational Databases IN225: Modifying and Sharing Data for Decision-Making IN226: Programming and Data and Ways to Share Data |ITS-130 Database Fundamentals, ITS-231 Database Programming, COS-206 R Programming, ITS-199 Special Topics in ITS ('''12 credits total''') |BUS-245 Programming for Managers (3 credits) + COS-1XX elective (12 credits total) | |- |[https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-digital-marketing-ecommerce Digital Marketing](TADA) |No credit | | | | |- | [https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design UX Design] (TADA) || 10 total: 3 LL web design, 3 LL user experience (UX) design, 1 LL career development, 3 UL user experience (UX) design || || CAP-280 Worldwide Web Development, CAP-281 Multimedia Web Development ('''6 credits total''') || || |} [[Purdue University Global]] has [https://www.purdueglobal.edu/alternative-college-credits/it-certification-exams/ their own mapping] for these certificates.
