The Global Freshman Academy from Arizona State University
Through the Global Freshman Academy, people from any background can take the same courses taught by the same faculty as on-campus Arizona State University students. You can earn transferable ASU credit from anywhere in the world, and you pay tuition only if you reach the grade you need. Check out the courses!
MicroMasters programs are graduate level course series from top universities such as MIT, RIT, Columbia University and UPenn, built to move your career forward. They give deep learning in a specific career field and employers recognise them for real job relevance. You may apply to the university that offers credit for the MicroMasters certificate and, if accepted, work toward an accelerated and less expensive Master's Degree. See the Master's courses!
To sign up, create an edX account and then register for the course you want. Registration is free unless you choose a verified certificate.
