They say that you should learn at least one new thing a day – but it shouldn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Schooling in Canada can be pretty expensive, however, thanks to the University of Alberta and its wide selection of FREE-to-attend classes, you can get a brain full without spending a dime.

Knowledge is power after all!

Whether your goal is to become a scholar or just improve your social game, expanding your mind is as easy as expanding your internet history – luckily there’s only one tab you’ll need to keep open in this case.

In cooperation with Coursera, The University of Alberta has been able to develop 17 different programs in a wide range of topics from dinosaurs to Indigenous history (that was endorsed by actor and Canadian sweetheart Dan Levy.)

These are the courses that you can enroll in now!

Which ones will you take, Alberta?

For more information on classes offered at the U of A or to see how some of these classes can actually be used to better teach young adults between grades 7 – 12 (here’s looking at you, parents and teachers!) please visit their official website, and get scrolling!

As we’ve mentioned, these classes are totally FREE and will get the gears going, so check it out.
