Free College Education Online

It is easy to get a higher education at a prestigious university online. Take courses in the comfort of your home,
at your own pace. Study one course or take several. Take courses to learn new topics, improve skills, or for a career
change. Most have no catches, no hidden fees. They are absolutely free. Enter MIT. MIT Open Course Ware (OCW) is freely available on the web. And includes all of the MIT course materials for the undergraduate and graduate programs
taught at MIT. Courses are available for everything from accounting to social studies and more.

Taking courses online is very advantageous for the average
person but it comes with a downside. The courses may not reflect all the material taught at MIT. Taking the courses will not make you eligible for a degree or certificate, and the courses do not count towards college credit. Here's what you will need to know to get started learning
online for free at MIT:
