Michigan Online
University of Michigan has launched an online learning portal that offers special engagement and learning opportunities for members of our campus community: Michigan Online. Michigan Online is a portal that provides a single point of access for U-M’s growing list of more than 160 online learning opportunities, including Teach-Outs, massive open online courses (MOOCs), specializations, MicroMasters programs, MasterTrack Certificate programs, and online degrees.
Michigan Online gives Michigan students, staff, faculty, and alumni from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses access to all U-M courses and specializations hosted on the Coursera, edX, and FutureLearn platforms and provides the opportunity to earn certificates free of charge. Michigan Online is a platform where the U-M community can access courses on topics ranging from leadership to data science to web design, all created by U-M faculty. The fees for these courses and certificates are waived for all enrolled students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses. As U-M develops additional online courses, they will become available through Michigan Online.
