>> Colleges generally teach and offer all the humanities: sociology, psychology, philosophy, history, literature, economics, etc. The focus is now on STEM, and these courses are rolling out in a big way online. The days of state universities all over the place duplicating the same material over and and over at exorbitant fees are coming to an end. edx.org coursera.org udemy.com (for information seekers who don't care about certificates).
