How To Go To MIT For Free

MIT now gives away its curriculum to anyone smart enough to learn it. It has posted its curriculum on-line for free http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm . These days, this means a staggering 1900 courses. This number will grow.

We’ve written before about the foolishness of pursuing a graduate degree during an economic recession. This popular move–waiting out a recession in school–is actually dumb (see above). Under no circumstances should anyone spend an economic downturn piling on more debt for a degree.

But there’s one exception to the No Graduate School Rule. And that is the Sloan School of Management, the business school of MIT. Actually, it’s pretty much all of MIT.
