College Courses

<p>I am going to be a senior and have nearly run out of courses and have taken 20 APs. I was wondering if anyone knows of any undergraduate paid college courses that I can take next year. I'm am planning on majoring in computer science. I am planning on doing this online so if anyone has some good sites please suggest them. </p>

<p>Do you have the option of taking dual-enrollment classes at a local university?</p>

<p>I’m taking math classes at this program <a href=“http://www.uccs.edu/mathonline/general-information.html”>http://www.uccs.edu/mathonline/general-information.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>hmm well this is from a while ago but doesn’t have a good reply yet - here are two really good websites (not paid, but probably just as good as any other course you can find online):</p>

<p>1) coursera.org - free, online courses with certificates in college topics (usually on the easier undergraduate level, so good for high school seniors who ran out of courses) by top universities (harvard, princeton, stanford, etc.), they have courses scheduled through the year (a lot of courses) and its very accessible</p>

<p>2) mit.ocw.edu - free, online course material from actual MIT classes (undergraduate and graduate) - has a lot of good material and a good way to get a sense of what college courses will be like</p>

<p>Since they’re free, I don’t think they’ll show up on transcripts, but there are a lot of courses that are just as rigorous. The MIT one you’ll probably have to self-pace, so it’s hard if you’re not self-directed (I find it hard to make myself do the course without strict deadlines). </p>

<p>Also, I do know that at these top schools, the classes can be paced much faster (not so apparent on coursera, but definitely on mit), so if you like the challenge and have the time, they’ll be really fun. For instance, the standard math major semester freshman Princeton math course (actually “accelerated honors”) basically covers 3110, 3130, and 3430, while the second half deals with more advanced analysis and 3400.</p>
