Hello,

Are there any online physics in the states? I was studying at Open U. but it is too expensive! l have no interest in natural science and I know physics requires lab work.Thanks,

Gimble
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Might check out https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

From what I know about it. You do not get any college credits taking their courses though. You do it more to get a handle on the subject matter.

Is there any online physics program that I can get credits and degree if I finish all courses?
 
There are a lot of threads about this, have you done a thorough search?
 
Thanks everyone.
 
I can refer to a site that is not US-based, but is available worldwide. It's http://www.nptel.ac.in, National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning, an initiative under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. Go the http://www.nptel.ac.in/course.php page, select physics. A whole lot of lectures will come up. All of them are free. I've added many in PF gallery as well. You can check them too.
 
You could search courses on edx or coursera and if you enroll in one you can choose whether you'd like to get a certificate or not.
Can't say if the certificates hold much value or not though.
