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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

A 1962 graduate of Jacksonville Superior School, Cleaver has been involved with BMATS for quite a few decades. He stated most do not understand the value of the seminary.
“This is a environment-course seminary, accredited by SACS, and attended by learners from all around the country and close to the globe,” he explained. “We have a treasure ideal at our back again doorway.” He added that the on the internet lessons being available are the school’s chance to give back again to the group.

Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the largest regions in the earth and has the lowest premiums of participation in higher education and learning anyplace in the earth. The World Bank claimed in 2020 that only 9.4{af0afab2a7197b4b77fcd3bf971aba285b2cb7aa14e17a071e3a1bf5ccadd6db} of the region’s tertiary schooling age group is enrolled. The international regular ratio is 38{af0afab2a7197b4b77fcd3bf971aba285b2cb7aa14e17a071e3a1bf5ccadd6db}.
Education and learning is a important catalyst of financial emancipation. Open and distance training was specifically built for this goal: to make higher education obtainable to all people, in all places. Since it is not constrained to 1 campus or bodily area, this strategy empowers college students to just take entire responsibility for their reports, to learn anyplace and at any time. Importantly, this happens with a larger schooling institution’s support and steering.
Just one of the programmes usually made available by these kinds of universities in other pieces of the entire world is the Large Open On the net Study course (MOOC). These are totally free, quickly obtainable and completely on the internet classes with no entry necessities. In some developing international locations outside Africa, these kinds of as the Philippines, Thailand and India, MOOCs are now currently being credited at the national level for entry into official college instruction. This raises entry to better schooling.
MOOCs are reasonably new in Africa they have grow to be a lot more prevalent in the past 5 or 10 years. On paper they are best for numerous African contexts. Egyptian schooling researcher Ghada Refaat El Said writes that MOOCs can successfully alleviate
overcrowded school rooms, higher charges of products and guides, commuting difficulty due to significant traffic, and a want for continued training and specialised instruction for the workforce.
But how accurately are MOOCs currently being utilized by African universities? Are any countries’ training methods efficiently employing MOOCs to widen increased education and learning access? To discover out, we analysed present peer-reviewed study posted involving 2013 and 2020.
We observed that not quite a few African international locations perceive MOOCs as instruments for boosting increased training access. The place these programs are available, they are generally supplementary or built merely to give college students extra tuition support. And there’s not significantly consciousness of MOOCs amongst college academics and learners, who then pass up out on this probable different route into increased education and learning.
What we uncovered
We searched the Sabinet, Scopus and Website of Science databases for papers by African authors about MOOCs. This developed 99 papers. Our analyze was based mostly on the 15 that ended up most relevant to our inclusion and exclusion criteria and that specially addressed African issues all-around MOOCs.
A crucial obtaining was that MOOCs are typically made use of as a self-discovering ingredient to help official skills in just African universities. In some situations, MOOCs entail facial area-to-facial area tuition and support for university learners. Even so, this apply allows only a minimal variety of learners to obtain bigger education and learning. For the most aspect, it caters only to people who are currently in the program.
The literature review also demonstrates that most people today from African nations around the world having these classes now possess some amount of better education. So, again, the current education entry divide is not tackled.
Some of the scientific studies we reviewed uncovered that several learners and teachers at large school degree didn’t even know what MOOCs have been simply because they experienced no access to electronic areas.
The literature suggests that a couple of nations in Africa – among the them Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa – feel to have at minimum acknowledged the position that MOOCs could possibly play in broadening greater instruction obtain. But this has not still been translated into national coverage.
Examples from in other places
We observed that MOOCs are currently getting applied as portion of mainstream credit score-bearing programs in some establishments in the Philippines, Thailand and India. That usually means finishing a MOOC can rely to access to a college degree. It allows make the diploma much more cost-effective.

Yet another obtaining relevant to how MOOCs in some creating countries are currently being efficiently packaged with recognition of prior finding out programmes. This is a approach by means of which informal studying can, with demanding measurements and mediation, be qualified – as the South African Skills Authority describes it – “against the prerequisites for credit, entry, inclusion or development in the official instruction and coaching method, or workplace”.
It is very clear from these and other conclusions in our study that African governments, plan makers and education sectors could discover a fantastic offer from other producing nations around the world.
Heading ahead
Larger education establishments in African nations ought to initiate dialogue with governments and accreditation bodies on how MOOCs can be utilised innovatively to widen entry to increased education and learning.
Governments that aspire to widen entry to bigger instruction by means of MOOCs need to raise the awareness of every stakeholder, including university communities, educationists in larger education and learning, coverage makers and federal government stakeholders. It is an additional way to offer African students with excellent and related instruction.
