School's Starting Soon (if it hasn't already)

Fall term has already started on many campuses and is only a few short weeks away for the rest of the students.  Even though I won't be pursuing a degree this term I still want to pursue an education.  For a very brief second I thought about taking classes as a non degree student.  Portland State offers several interesting classes I haven't  taken yet, but one class can cost over $1000 and take up valuable time.   Last year  I came across a post on GIS Lounge about the abundant free online courses out there.   Many college now offer a wide selection of college classes online for free, there are now several stand alone sites that provide courses for free.  Though some schools offer a very slim selection of GIS courses, most have a decent geography offering.  Some school however, offer a very wide selection of GIS classes.  So far Penn State  (http://open.ems.psu.edu/courseware) looks the most promising. 

Below is a link with more free courses to check out.
