Looking for an online course?

You'll know that many universities and colleges now put their course material online, as podcasts and the like. This website has collated the 'top 100' courses in theology and philosophy, breaking them down into handy divisions:
- Theology and History
- Logic
- Contemporary Philosophy and Culture
- Judaism
- Asian Religions
- Christianity
- Morality
- Religion, Society and Anthropology
- Religious Traditions
- Ancient Philosophy
- General Philosophy
- Spirituality and Identity
- and then finally other bits under Miscellaneous.
MIT features particularly strongly, though there are courses from such illustrious names as Yale, Open University and Berkeley too. If you're into self-teaching, enjoy!

This resource is extremely helpful, the fact that MIT is now posting open courseware for free is incredible. I had to leave school early to take my dream job (ironic right), but I am only 3 philosophy courses (9 credit hours) short of receiving my undergraduate degree in philosophy. I have been looking for quality undergraduate upper level online courses in philosophy and have been almost entirely unsuccessful. Do have any recommendations for good, credited, online philosophy courses? I would love some direction with this problem. Thank You! Mike
I'm afraid I don't know about that, no. You might try the Leiter Report blog.
