The free online courses that are putting college in reach - Nicole Freeling, UC

Funded with $4 million from the state, UC Scout has recently expanded its course offerings. It now offers 65 state-of-the-art classes, including a complete catalog of all the “a-g” requirement courses that students need for UC and CSU admission, as well as 26 advanced placement classes.  New additions include an array of lab classes like oceanography and AP physics, and an arts curriculum that includes 3-D design.  Students can access the courses anywhere with an Internet connection — from the school computer lab or local library, to their smart phone, tablet or home computer. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/free-online-courses-are-putting-college-reach
