FREE College Certificate in WWII (not a 3rd party MOOC).

Agreed 100% -especially the last part. Yes - some of the courses look like they'd be good for any number of things. I was really taken by the fact they have TWO Great Books courses. Hard to find ONE these days. I'm guessing that these courses, however good and worthwhile, just don't make the numbers for credit-hours. A three credit course requires about 50 contact hours and each contact hour would mean two additional hours of assignment work or study. These courses are nowhere near that number of hours.

These are basically Federal rules and it's easy to bring up individual universities' calculations. They're all quite similar, governed by the same basic rules. Google something like "conversion of contact hours to credit hours" etc.

Credit or not - I think there's astounding educational and personal development value offered here.
