Massachusetts Institute of Technology
If you want a degree from an Ivy League school, it's going to cost you. But if you want the next best thing—for free—go online. Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers access to 1,700 courses spanning sciences, humanities, and management.

Stanford offers computer science tutorials, starting with C++ and working towards programming a complete game of Tetris.

I bet none of them offer college credit for any of their free online courses. College tuition rises faster than the rate of inflation and for what? Not for the knowledge which is freely available on the Internet. All colleges have to offer now is the official credentials for learning the material. In other words, these institutions no longer offer the most efficient delivery of a service. They are just holding onto the stamp of approval and that stamp has little real value. I like how the IT industry rewards self study through certification exams.
