MIT Online Degree

The MIT OpenCourseWare is open to students from all over the world and can be termed as an MIT activity. This program for online courses has been funded by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Ab Initio software company. The OCW is basically a web-based publication that consists of the entire MIT course content. However, there is a general misconception that the students are awarded degrees or certificates at the end of the course. The OCW does not grant certificates or degrees. The material can be used by the students from all over the world for self study purposes.

Undoubtedly, just like the free online courses of UC Berkeley that are in podcast format, the same at MIT OCW will entitle you to any degree.

The MIT OCW has a total of 1550 online degrees available and these free courses of OCW come with syllabi, audio lectures, notes, homework assignments,video illustrations and many more. And it is known that this is great resource to supplement your studies and to feel how it is to study in an online university.
