The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the famous M.I.T.) offers over 2,000 of their free college STEM programs online. Through this program, you may read through the syllabus, course materials, lecture notes, assignments, exams, videos, and more, as if you are taking a course straight from MIT (you won’t get college credit or a diploma; they are offering the knowledge only ).
“The idea is simple: to publish all of our course materials online and make them widely available to everyone.”– Yue, Professor, MIT School of Engineering
