Yes there are free university courses out there for you to take. A lot of big Universities are starting to offer their course materials online for free as a way of helping to better educate the world and believe that knowledge should be free. You only pay to do the course if you join their on Campus courses. Some free courses may charge a small amount for an actual certificate or something like a $50 enrollment and that is all.
An open university degree will help you advance to a better career.
Below is a list of free universities for you to start looking at free degrees.
University Of The People
University of the People (UoPeople) is the world’s first non-profit, tuition- free, accredited online university dedicated to opening the gates to higher education for all individuals otherwise constrained.
In February 2014 UoPeople received accreditation from the Accreditation Commission of the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), a U.S. Department of Education authorized accrediting agency. This can be verified at

World Education University
WEU is dedicated to one goal: to provide 100% FREE high quality college-level education to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Founded in 2012 and now serving students in 179 countries, WEU was the first among massive open online course (MOOC) providers to offer higher learning degrees free of charge, with no fees or tuition and no costs for textbooks. WEU breaks down financial barriers to education and provides the first of its kind opportunity for anyone, anywhere to earn a degree regardless of their social, geographic or economic limitations.
WEU is currently in the process of pursuing accreditation, both domestically and abroad. WEU is committed to achieving accreditation from an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. At this time no assurances can be given as to when, or if, accreditation might be granted.
WEU is authorized to operate as a degree granting institution of higher education and is exempt from the California Private Post-Secondary Act of 2009.
