100 FREE Life Science Courses Online from 50+ Universities

The life science courses we have taken so far constitute classroom teaching, laboratory practicals, and sometimes field studies. Today, physical classrooms have evolved into virtual classrooms, even though we still require hands-on practicals to better understand the subject. Regardless, online courses could equip students with knowledge and skills for their degree program, improving their subject knowledge and quality of life.
