Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022. Principles of Consolidation —The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Segment Information —The Company defines its segments as those operations the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), determined to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, regularly reviews to allocate resources and assess performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 , the Company operated under three segments: Consumer, Enterprise, and Degrees. The Company continually monitors and reviews its segment reporting structure in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 , Segment Reporting , to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its reportable segments. For further information on the Company’s segment reporting, see Note 15 “Segment and Geographic Information.” Use of Estimates —The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the fair value of common stock and stock-based awards; period of benefit for capitalized commissions; internal-use software costs; useful lives of long-lived assets; the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets; valuation of intangible assets and income tax expense, including the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, among others. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022. Concentration of Credit Risk —Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The Company invests only in high-credit-quality instruments and maintains its cash equivalents and marketable securities in fixed-income securities. The Company places its cash primarily with domestic financial institutions that are federally insured within statutory limits. For purposes of assessing concentration of credit risk and significant customers, a group of customers under common control or customers that are affiliates of each other are regarded as a single customer. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 , the Company did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s revenue. As of March 31, 2022 , the Company had one customer that accounted for 22 % of its net accounts receivable balance that has since been collected within typical business terms. As of December 31, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Coursera is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The JOBS Act does not preclude an emerging growth company from early adopting new or revised accounting standards. We early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract , effective July 1, 2021. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period for which the Company remains an emerging growth company. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes , related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill and the allocation of consolidated income taxes to separate financial statements of entities not subject to income tax. Upon adoption, certain aspects of this standard are applied retrospectively for all periods presented while other aspects are applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2022, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses , which provides new authoritative guidance with respect to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments by introducing a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, requiring entities to estimate and record losses expected over the remaining contractual life of an asset. The guidance will be effective for the Company in 2023 and early adoption beginning in 2019 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	7. INCOME TAXES The provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company records a cumulative adjustment. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 resulted in an effective tax rate of ( 2.7 )% and ( 2.1 )%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily due to a valuation allowance established on the Company ’ s federal and state net deferred tax assets, foreign operations and excess tax benefits (deficiencies) related to stock-based compensation. Due to tax losses and the offsetting valuation allowance, the Company did no t record a provision for U.S. income taxes in either period. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against certain federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. If management’ s assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)	9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT) Preferred Stock —In connection with the IPO, t he Company authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.00001 per share, with rights and preferences, including voting rights, to be designated from time to time by the board of directors. As of March 31, 2022 , there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. Stock Incentive Plans —In 2013, the Company adopted the Coursera, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”) and in 2014, adopted the Coursera, Inc. 2014 Executive Stock Incentive Plan (together, the “Predecessor Plans”), pursuant to which the Company granted a combination of incentive and nonstatutory stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The Predecessor Plans were terminated in March 2021 in connection with the IPO but continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Predecessor Plans. No further equity awards will be granted under the Predecessor Plans. The Company adopted the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) in February 2021, which became effective on March 30, 2021 when the registration statement for the IPO was declared effective (collectively, the 2021 Plan, the ESPP, and the Predecessor Plans are referred to as the “Plans”). The 2021 Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonstatutory stock options, RSUs, and other equity awards. Pursuant to the ESPP, participants may contribute up to 15 percent of their eligible compensation to purchase shares of common stock at 85 percent of the lower of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of commencement of the applicable offering period or on the last day of each six-month purchase period. The offering periods start on the first trading day on or after May 11 and November 11 of each year, except for the first offering period, which commenced on the Company’s IPO effective date, or March 30, 2021, and ends on May 10, 2023. As of March 31, 2022 , 21,039,110 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus certain automatic annual increases in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2021 Plan, and any shares subject to outstanding awards under the Predecessor Plans after the effective date of the 2021 Plan that are subsequently (i) forfeited or terminated, (ii) not issued because such award is settled in cash, or (iii) withheld or reacquired to satisfy the applicable exercise, strike, or purchase price, or a tax withholding obligation, were reserved for future issuance under the 2021 Plan. As of March 31, 2022 , 3,991,012 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus certain automatic annual increases in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, were reserved for issuance under the ESPP. Stock Options —The Company may grant options at prices not less than the grant date fair value. These options generally expire 10 years from the grant date. Incentive stock options and nonstatutory options generally vest ratably over a four-year service period. Stock option activity under the Plans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was as follows: Number of Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate Balance—December 31, 2021 23,000,872 $ 5.62 6.81 $ 436,630 Granted — — Exercised ( 1,728,006 ) 3.73 Canceled ( 360,985 ) 6.73 Balance—March 31, 2022 20,911,881 $ 5.75 6.62 $ 366,105 Options vested 13,445,692 $ 3.60 5.82 $ 261,336 Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock as determined by the board of directors. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was $ 29,924 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. RSUs —During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company began granting RSUs to its employees and directors. RSUs granted prior to the IPO had service-based and performance-based vesting conditions, both of which must be satisfied in order for RSUs to vest. The service-based vesting condition for these awards is typically satisfied over four years with a cliff vesting period of one year and continued vesting quarterly thereafter. The performance-based vesting condition is satisfied on the earlier of (i) a change in control event or (ii) the first sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an initial public offering. Both events were not deemed probable until consummated. Upon the first sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the IPO on April 5, 2021, the performance-based vesting condition was satisfied, and therefore, the Company recognized cumulative stock-based compensation expense of $ 16,803 using the accelerated attribution method for the portion of the awards for which the service-based vesting condition had been satisfied. RSUs granted after the IPO do not contain the performance-based vesting condition described above, and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was as follows: Number of Weighted-Average Aggregate Unvested balance—December 31, 2021 7,387,288 $ 29.68 $ 180,545 Granted 1,075,008 21.01 Released ( 322,335 ) 30.81 Forfeited ( 198,372 ) 31.31 Unvested balance—March 31, 2022 7,941,589 $ 28.42 $ 182,974 Stock-Based Compensation Expense —The Company records stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value as determined on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and shares of common stock to be issued under the ESPP utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key assumptions of the Black-Scholes valuation model are the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected term, and expected dividends. The Company recognizes such compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for each award. The fair value of restricted stock awards equals the market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. These amounts are estimates and, thus, may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Cost of revenue $ 577 $ 107 Research and development 9,743 2,028 Sales and marketing 6,274 1,347 General and administrative 5,384 1,802 Total $ 21,978 $ 5,284 The Company capitalized $ 1,249 and $ 526 of stock-based compensation related to its internal-use software during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 , there was a total of $ 44,960 unrecognized employee compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years. In addition, as of March 31, 2022 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was $ 158,969 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP as of March 31, 2022 was $ 12,611 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.8 years. Common Stock Reserved for Issuance — The Company’s common stock reserved for future issuance as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was as follows: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Stock options outstanding 20,911,881 23,000,872 RSUs outstanding 7,941,589 7,387,288 Shares available for future grants 25,030,122 16,905,525 Total shares of common stock reserved 53,883,592 47,293,685

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Obligations— Purchase obligations relate mainly to a third-party cloud infrastructure agreement and subscription arrangements as well as service agreements used to facilitate the Company’s operations. As of March 31, 2022 , the Company had approximately $ 49,143 of future minimum payments under the Company’s non-cancelable purchase obligations, which are expected to be paid through 2026. Litigation —The Company continually evaluates uncertainties associated with litigation and records a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is possible and a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the range of the possible loss in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, if any, and the matters and related ranges of possible losses disclosed, and makes adjustments and changes to our disclosures as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being, and the estimated amount of, a loss related to such matters. Until the final resolution of such matters, there may be an exposure to loss, and such amounts could be material. For legal proceedings for which there is a reasonable possibility of loss (meaning those losses for which the likelihood is more than remote but less than probable), the Company has determined it does not have material exposure on an aggregate basis at this time. Indemnifications —In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provides for the potential of general indemnification obligations. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves future claims that may be made against the Company but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any material claims or has been required to defend any actions related to its indemnification obligations; however, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations. In addition, the Company has indemnification agreements with certain of its directors, executive officers, and other employees that require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service with the Company. The terms of such obligations may vary.

Basis of Presentation and Sum_2

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation —The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segment Information	Segment Information —The Company defines its segments as those operations the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), determined to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, regularly reviews to allocate resources and assess performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 , the Company operated under three segments: Consumer, Enterprise, and Degrees. The Company continually monitors and reviews its segment reporting structure in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 , Segment Reporting , to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its reportable segments. For further information on the Company’s segment reporting, see Note 15 “Segment and Geographic Information.”
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates —The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the fair value of common stock and stock-based awards; period of benefit for capitalized commissions; internal-use software costs; useful lives of long-lived assets; the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets; valuation of intangible assets and income tax expense, including the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, among others.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk —Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The Company invests only in high-credit-quality instruments and maintains its cash equivalents and marketable securities in fixed-income securities. The Company places its cash primarily with domestic financial institutions that are federally insured within statutory limits. For purposes of assessing concentration of credit risk and significant customers, a group of customers under common control or customers that are affiliates of each other are regarded as a single customer. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 , the Company did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s revenue. As of March 31, 2022 , the Company had one customer that accounted for 22 % of its net accounts receivable balance that has since been collected within typical business terms. As of December 31, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance.
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Not Yet Adopted	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Coursera is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The JOBS Act does not preclude an emerging growth company from early adopting new or revised accounting standards. We early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract , effective July 1, 2021. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period for which the Company remains an emerging growth company. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes , related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill and the allocation of consolidated income taxes to separate financial statements of entities not subject to income tax. Upon adoption, certain aspects of this standard are applied retrospectively for all periods presented while other aspects are applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2022, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses , which provides new authoritative guidance with respect to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments by introducing a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, requiring entities to estimate and record losses expected over the remaining contractual life of an asset. The guidance will be effective for the Company in 2023 and early adoption beginning in 2019 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
