Think I could claim to have every degree MIT offers? Seriously though, I like hearing this. I could see myself taking a great many courses over my lifetime.

How wonderful! I'm one of those 'self-learners'.

That is cool. It's been 10 years since I graduated college and I'm not currently in the workforce...would be great to use as a refresher when I do return.

Could you actually get a degree using this coursework or would it just be for self learning/improvement?

Re: How to go to M.I.T. for free

Sorry, no degree -- it's just for your own self-improvement.
