We turn talent into greatness.

Udacity changes lives, organizations, and nations through digital upskilling, developing the edge you need to conquer what's next.

Upskilling talent for the careers of the future

Udacity began when Stanford instructors Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig had a revolutionary idea to offer their "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course online—to anyone, for free.

Over 160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled, demanding a new way to deliver education. A startling discovery emerged: The top 400 students weren’t from Stanford. This revelation sparked a mission to make lifelong learning more equitable and inclusive. Udacity has been expanding opportunities ever since. Udacity is now part of Accenture.
