560 free online courses from 200 universities
If you haven’t heard, universities around the world offering their courses online for free (or at-least
partially free
). These courses are collectively called as MOOCS or Massive Open Online Courses.
In the past six years or so, close to
800 universities
have created more than 8,000 of these MOOCs. And I’ve been keeping track of these MOOCs the entire time over at
Class Central
, ever since they rose to prominence.
In the past three month alone, more than 200 universities have announced 560 such free online courses. I’ve compiled this list below and categorized the courses into the following subjects: Computer Science, Mathematics, Programming, Data Science, Humanities, Social Sciences, Education & Teaching, Health & Medicine, Business, Personal Development, Engineering, Art & Design, and finally Science.
If you have trouble figuring out how to signup for Coursera courses for free, don’t worry — I’ve
written an article on how to do that, too
.
Here’s the full list of new free online courses. Most of these are completely self-paced, so you can start taking them at your convenience.
