There’s a lot of content out there for students to improve their knowledge and skills. Most of them are very helpful. But most readers are questioning the validity of the content. Well, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Oxford and most of the world best universities offer their full programs online FREE. No question! That’s the best! These courses are very subject-specific, very well organized and easy to follow.
Currently, Gradhopper lists more than 1200 online courses hosted by it’s university or EdX which is the only open source platform. EdX offers a verified certificate for an additional fee, if you wish to include in your resume.
This article contains only 20 chemistry related courses, but you can find many more courses in agriculture, science, statistics, business management, economics, biology and other disciplines in Gradhopper listings, only a click away…
