The 10 Best Harvard Courses You Can Take Online for Free

Harvard is a prestigious school with a lot of name recognition, but more than that it provides great education for anyone who can manage to get in. Fortunately, you can now get an education from Harvard regardless of your prior learning. And the best part? It’s entirely free.

If you’re at all interested in educating yourself at one of the most famous universities in the world, then here are 10 of its best free online courses to consider.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free CS50 Introduction to Game Development Course

The first of the free Harvard courses that makes it to this list is CS50’s Introduction to Game Development. CS50 (standing for Computer Science 50) is an on-campus and online course in computer science that is taught at Harvard and Yale University.

This course focuses on game development. If you enjoy playing video games and have always wanted to know how to do it for yourself, this is a great introductory course to do just that.

The course itself is 12 weeks long and entirely self-paced, so you can work through the material at your own leisure. It focuses on teaching the fundamentals of Lua and C#, which are both programming languages that you can use with a variety of free game development software to make your own games.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Introduction to Programming with Scratch Course

Following on from Harvard’s free Introduction to Game Development comes its Introduction to Programming with Scratch. Also part of CS50, this free course focuses on teaching you the fundamentals of programming.

It does this using Scratch, an educational program that aims to teach programming skills through a block-based programming language. The course itself is only three weeks long, which is perfect to tip your toe in and learn more about programming without committing to something bigger.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Principles of Biochemistry Course

If you’re the type of person who’s always trying to find the best ways to get your daily dose of science, then Principles of Biochemistry may be the type of Harvard course that interests you.

The course is a relatively long one, clocking in at 15 weeks. This is plenty of time to learn all about the structure of the chemical building blocks of life, as well as how to navigate protein structures using PyMOL and much more.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Cell Biology Mitochondria Course

If Principles of Biochemistry sounds interesting, but you’re worried about the level of complexity or the time commitment, then Cell Biology: Mitochondria might be what you’re looking for.

This free course focuses on the fundamentals of all cell biology, and includes a focus on the Mitochondria. It also teaches how the internal structure of cells work and how they metabolize food, among other things.

This course only requires a four-week commitment, and is entirely self-paced, so perfect for any skill or commitment level.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Fundamentals of Neuroscience Part 1 The Electrical Properties of the Neuron Course

If you’ve found yourself drawn to the longer free courses that Harvard provides, but are worried about potentially being unable to finish due to their length, then Fundamentals of Neuroscience might just be what you’re looking for.

This course runs for five weeks and teaches you the fundamentals of bioelectricity and how it interacts with your nervous system.

What’s great here is that there’s a part two and part three to this course that focuses on more advanced concepts and grow steadily longer. This is a great avenue to continue your study if you really enjoy the first part, or simply stop once you’ve completed it.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Energy and Thermodynamics Course

For those of you who don’t have much interest in biology, Harvard still has science courses available for free that may interest you. Energy and Thermodynamics is a course that focuses on chemistry and energy that you can take, for example.

This course focuses on describing the different forms of energy, and how they interact with power and chemistry. The course itself is 10 weeks long, and covers a range of topics over that time.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Women Making History Ten Objects Many Stories Course

If you’re interested in the humanities, then Women Making History may be the course that you’ve been looking for. This teaches about the many ways that women have impacted American history, with a focus on the way that history is complex and nonlinear.

The course runs for eight weeks, but has a lower weekly time commitment than many other courses of the same length, which makes it a great way to learn something extra in your free time.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Ancient Masterpieces of World Literature Course

For those of you who are looking for a free course in the humanities, but have little interest in history, there’s Ancient Masterpieces of World Literature.

This six-week Harvard course focuses on the fundamentals of literature, such as how to critically analyze literary works and how they are transformed and recovered by modern technology.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Calculus Applied Course

If you want to brush up on your math or are just worried that the help you’re giving your children on their homework might be wrong, then there’s no better way than with a free Harvard course.

Calculus Applied! is a 10-week-long course focusing on real-world uses for calculus and how to perform them. This includes working with variables, constants, and parameters, among other key elements of calculus.

A Screenshot of Harvards Free Introduction to Probability Course

Finally, we have Introduction to Probability, another math course provided for free by Harvard. This course focuses on teaching how to think about uncertainty and randomness, how random variables work, and what common probability distributions are.

This course runs for 10 weeks and has a somewhat high daily time commitment, but considering that probability is such a useful skill to know, this is largely warranted.

Learn More Without Breaking the Bank

As you can see, Harvard has an impressive range of different courses available for you to take, and they’re all entirely free. If you want, you can even pay for the certificate to prove that you’ve studied at Harvard, which is a pretty nice touch.

Whether you’re on the go or studying at home, technology has made it easier than ever to get educated. All you have to do is find the best ways for you to learn and get to it.

Cardiology CME/CNE | HCM Around the Globe: Not an Isolated Issue

Program Description

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an under-recognized, common, and treatable genetic disease occurring worldwide. HCM is a myocardial disorder most often caused by mutations in one of several sarcomere genes that encode components of the contractile apparatus of the heart. It is characterized by ventricular hypertrophy that cannot be explained by another cardiac or systemic disease. Adding to the burden of disease, HCM can present with a variety of symptoms mimicking other conditions and may go undiagnosed for many years and it is estimated that approximately one in 500 individuals in the United States may have clinically unrecognized, undiagnosed HCM, with an overall prevalence estimated at 750,000.

Please join Dr. Maron and Dr. Torres in this first installment of a CMEO Snack series as they discuss strategies for optimal screening of HCM in an effort to increase recognition and diagnosis of this too often misdiagnosed disease.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

Assess safety and efficacy of emerging agents.

Intended Audience

Cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons (Secondary: Primary care physicians/General practitioners, PAs, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists).

Cardiology CME/CNE/CPE | Best Practices for Treating HCM: Global Views

Program Description

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can be a chronic, progressive condition in which patients experience symptoms of dyspnea, dizziness, and fatigue as well as serious complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. HCM is a masquerading disease and is easily confused with other conditions. Because there are many different symptomatic manifestations of HCM, clinicians are not always up to date with evidence-based treatment recommendations, missing opportunities to provide relief to patients with HCM. Practice guidelines for HCM released in December 2020 by the AHA/ACC provide further detail on when to use available treatment options. Clinicians need to stay current on the latest recommendations to prepare to treat or refer patients with HCM to a specialist.

Join Drs. Maron and Olivotto in this 2nd installment of a 3-part CMEO Snack series on HCM as they identify strategies for clinicians to better implement global and country-specific guideline recommendations to improve care for patients with HCM.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

Cardiology CME/CNE | Novel Agents Targeting the Source of HCM Disease

Program Description

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is prevalent around the world, with a conservatively estimated 20 million individuals affected. Even in developed countries, current management of HCM is suboptimal. Much has been learned over the past 2 decades about the pathophysiology of HCM and new therapies such as mavacamten, CK-274, IMB-101, and CT-G20 are currently being developed and tested in clinical trials addressing the underlying pathophysiology of HCM. Although these new agents are in late stages of development, clinicians are often not fully up to date on this progress and the potential opportunity to improve care for patients.

Please join Drs. Maron and Rakowski in this final installment of a CMEO Snack series on HCM as they discuss methods to assess study results of emerging HCM disease-specific treatments targeting cardiac myosin in order to optimize outcomes for patients.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

Free CNE | AL Amyloidosis: Identifying Patients, Implementing Care

Program Description

Light chain (AL) amyloidosis, a rare clonal plasma cell disorder characterized by organ deposition of amyloid protein, results in progressive organ damage that is usually irreversible. Prompt treatment is critical to achieving the best possible outcomes, but rapid initiation of treatment requires early, accurate diagnosis, which is often delayed because of the nonspecific nature of the symptoms. Unfortunately, delayed diagnosis is a grave concern, as the median survival rate among some untreated patients is approximately 6 months following symptom onset.

A high index of suspicion and appropriate testing are needed to make a diagnosis of AL amyloidosis, but the significant delays and multiple physician visits patients typically encounter (many patients report seeing at least five physicians, including cardiologists and nephrologists, before receiving a diagnosis) indicate that clinicians continue to be confounded by this condition’s highly variable clinical presentation.

Therapies for AL amyloidosis target the aberrant plasma/B-cell clone and have traditionally been based on regimens adapted from the expanding treatment options available for multiple myeloma; however, in January 2021 the FDA approved a therapy specifically for use in patients with AL amyloidosis.

This activity features a roundtable discussion with a multidisciplinary panel of experts on the latest information on evidence-based diagnosis and treatment guidelines for patients with AL amyloidosis.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

Recognize the clinical presentations that should raise suspicion of AL amyloidosis
Utilize optimal diagnostic testing to minimize delays in treatment initiation
Outline current and emerging treatment options that are available to treat patients with AL amyloidosis, using supporting clinical trial data

Intended Audience

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of hematologist-oncologists, medical oncologists, oncology nurses, cardiologists, nephrologists, and other health care providers involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with AL amyloidosis.
