CourseBuffet not only highlights free courses from top universities, it groups some of them into degree paths, so you can get a college BA-equivalent education from these free online courses.


Currently two degree paths are available: Computer science and management, with finance coming soon. When you choose one of these paths, you’ll be presented with groups of courses organized similarly to traditional degrees, with core, advanced, and elective courses. And, just like a traditional degree, to complete the “program” you’re expected to achieve all the credits.

The Core Computer Science courses include everything from intro to computer science to computer architecture, algorithms, programming languages, and databases. Within each topic, you can select from a variety of online courses to add to your path.


There’s no actual degree conferred, but it’s a helpful tool that organizes the great many different courses you can take in these subjects. You can learn on your own while having a structured curriculum, kind of like this selection of free courses in computer science.
