Michigan: How to Take College Courses for Free

Have you ever wanted to master a new skill, perhaps one that could launch you into a new, better career, but didn’t want to pay the money for courses? One of the best colleges in America is offering free classes, and they’re good ones. Here’s how to take college courses for free from the University of Michigan.

Michigan: How to Take College Courses for Free

The free classes are through MichiganX. “The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future,” they explain. They add, “MichiganX courses draw from 101 academic programs ranked in the top 10 and align with strategic institutional priorities such as interdisciplinary collaborations, diversity and inclusion, access and affordability, and internationalization.”

Some of the courses available include Python programming, JavaScript, SQL, Smart Tool and much more. Moreover, these best part is that these courses are completely free, with no catch. Well, the only catch, and this isn’t really one, is that the free courses do not include a verified certificate of completion. But, if you really want to put it on your CV, you can get a real certificate for a small fee. You don’t have to pay, but if you want to, you can. Hence, here are some free classes from the University of Michigan. These change, so check this website for the latest. I personally think the “Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)” is a great pick.

Database Design and Basic SQL in PostgreSQL
Finance for Everyone: Smart Tools for Decision-Making
Introduction to Data Analytics for Managers
Leading Ambitious Teaching and Learning
Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)
Python Data Structures
Storytelling for Social Change
