A Master List of 700 Free Courses From Great Universities

During recent months, we’ve been busy enhancing what’s now a list of 700 Free Online Courses from top universities. Here’s the lowdown: This master list lets you download free courses from schools like Stanford, Yale, MIT, Oxford, Harvard and UC Berkeley. Generally, the courses can be accessed via YouTube, iTunes or university web sites. Right now you’ll find 85 courses in Philosophy, 60 in History, 80 in Computer Science, 35 in Physics, and that’s just beginning to scratch the surface. Most of the courses were recently produced.
