In recent years, UC Berkeley has seen the light- not the proverbial light of religion, but instead the light that is open access… You can, as of this semester, attend classes remotely, via web or podcast. Aside from it being free, your can listen whenever you want, and do so in whatever attire you choose….

Even wonder then those crazies at Berkeley are saying in the Philosophy Department? Watch the webcast for the Heidegger class and see… Morality not your thing? Well how about Introduction to General Astronomy??

Are you a math nut?? Well I don’t even know what Discrete Mathematics is, but if you do, and want to take the web-class, go for it..

Other interesting classes:
Perception
The Ancient Mediterranean World
Issues in Foreign Policy after 911
Quantum Mechanics
Introductory Physics

Of course, there are multiple Biology classes you can take….
General Biology 1B
General Biology 1A
General Human Anatomy
General Genetics
Nutrient Function and Metabolism
Introduction to Human Nutrition
Epidemiologic Methods I

On second though, maybe not a complete education… you’ll be missing out on rampant drunkenness and promiscuity….

Here is the complete listing of classes.
