Continuing your education can be pricey, even at schools with the most lax requirements. But what if you could take classes like Introduction to Mathematical Thinking or An Introduction to the U.S. Food System: Perspectives from Public Health – for free? And if that’s not intriguing enough, what if you could take them from home? And from universities like Stanford or Johns Hopkins? Well, it’s not a “What if?” While you won’t walk off with a college degree, Coursera.org offers classes that really are free and taught online by professors from Stanford, Duke, Princeton, Berklee College of Music, the University of Maryland and 28 other schools. Coursera describes itself as a “social entrepreneurship company” with a goal of providing anyone and everyone with a world-class education – the type of education previously available only to a select few.
