Looking for something less technology oriented? Coursera and EdX offer thousands of courses from many top universities (Harvard, Stanford, CalTech). Here’s a list of curated Coursera courses. When viewing a course description in EdX, you may notice a fee associated with receiving a certificate. You can skip the certificate and fee by looking for the “or study for free” option to enjoy free enrollment.  Even MIT offers free online courses!
