    Great post, I know UCLA also offers lectures online for free @ oid.ucla.edu

    Youtube is probably the best single source for live lectures, there are some great ones from every major university.

    If you want to learn about the Austrian school of economics, there is a ton of information available for free at the Mises institute at mises.org. There are whole books as PDFs.

    For MBA-level Corporate Finance, Valuation, & Investment classes NYU professor Aswath Damodaran’s website is by far the best resource I’ve seen. He posts everything from his classes – syllabi, assignments, class notes, recordings of lectures, etc…

    I didn’t know these sites existed. I found most of the courses pertaining to my BS degree online. I could have saved my parents so much money….
