Free Online Courses and Education

      The feeling of getting something totally free is the best feeling in the world. If such thing happens at the prospect of an education, it enhances the joy of a student. Currently, the debt of American students is over 1 trillion and it is expected to increase considerably in the upcoming years. According to the New York Times, the average debt per student is $26,500. In such a situation, the introduction of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) can change the whole scenario of the educational sector. Top online MBA programs are now playing a major role in changing the overwhelming burden of the heavy fee to an absolutely free mode of education.

     Initially, it was started only as an experiment, but with each passing day, large universities are adopting this method. Now a considerable number of students are enrolling to get a free degree from the renowned universities. In a country where education is becoming highly expensive and a degree from a good university can cost a student up to $100,000, the choice of programs like free online courses and education and MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) becomes a good choice for a student.

     The most interesting and attractive part of online MBA programs and education is that in the past students had to take very good grades to get admission to high ranked universities around the world. But with the advent of live video streaming tools, online documents, online exams, online virtual classes and online assistance from teachers, the access of normal student to high-level courses has become easy and convenient.

    It also provides students the luxury to choose subjects of their own choice. When a student comes online to get a free online degree, he has several choices and he is not bound to choose specific subjects only. Universities are offering free online degrees in Social sciences, Health Sciences, Agricultural Studies, General Studies, Engineering, Architecture, Business Management and Administration, Marketing, Medicine, Graphic Designing, Accounting and much more. Actually, the list of courses is somehow endless.

   Students can get free online courses such as accounting courses including Creating a Profit and Loss Statement, Preparing a Balance Sheet, Introduction to the Context of Accounting, and Influences on Accounting Regulation Course, Investment Risk and Preparing Cash Budget etc. In the field of Business Administration and Management, you can get free online courses like Intro to Business, Principles of Management, Principles of Marketing, Human Resource Management and Introductory Business Law.

In the same way, several courses are available in other subjects also. I just highlighted a few one to provide an example.

   Universities are now realizing the fact that enrollment of a large number of students is beneficial for them. If these universities attract a huge number of students, it is also beneficial for their other programs with a fee.

   Amazingly, the size of online classes has increased. According to professor Andrew NG, Stand ford University, says that he is teaching almost 100,000 students online while his traditional class strength was only 400.
