Free Courses from Leading Universities

If "learning" and "free" are words that get you excited, check this out! edX (yes, that's the name) offers online courses for no cost. As in zero. As in free.

What you won't get is a degree. You can only audit courses (no credit). You can, however, receive a Certificate of Achievement to prove that you've completed the course. This could be useful in trying to get ahead in your career, etc.

Here are some of the schools that participate:
  • Harvard University
  • The University of Texas
  • Berklee College of Music
  • Berkeley University of California
  • Cornell University
  • Dartmouth
  • Caltech
  • Georgetown University
  • The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
  • Kyoto University
  • And others...

You can find all the details at www.edx.org.
