Good education shouldn't depend on what you can pay.

Yes. Every course, quiz, exam and certificate is free. The site is supported by advertising, and you will never be asked for payment details.

No. Programs such as Accounting, Biology, Psychology, the MBA, Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy and Law follow the structure of real degree and professional curricula so you can learn the material in a sensible order. Each course awards a certificate of completion. HSM University is not an accredited institution, and none of its programs are degrees.

No. These are regulated professions. Becoming licensed requires an accredited program, supervised clinical or practical training, and the regulator's own exams and requirements. Our courses are a free way to learn, preview or review the material, not a route to licensure.

No. HSM University is not affiliated with LSAC or the AAMC. The prep courses teach the content and skills those tests cover; use the official practice material as well.

No. The Engineering stream follows the structure of a four-year engineering curriculum and awards certificates of completion for each course. It is not an accredited degree, and on its own it does not qualify you for a Professional Engineer (PE) license. State licensing boards generally require a degree from an ABET-accredited program, the NCEES FE and PE exams and supervised experience.

Most subjects, such as calculus, physics and programming, are the same everywhere, and those courses are shared. Where the rules differ, such as professional licensing, building codes and standards, law, tax and accounting standards, each country has its own version. Use the Canada / USA switch at the top of any page to change versions.

Anyone who wants to learn: people building workplace skills, students preparing for or supplementing their studies, career changers, and professionals refreshing their fundamentals.

Courses are grouped into streams, such as Engineering and Professional Development. New streams are being added. Browse a stream, search the catalog, or start with any course that interests you.

Many courses end each lesson with a short quiz; score 60% or more to complete the lesson. Where a course has a final exam, it unlocks once every lesson is complete, and passing it with 70% or more earns your certificate. You can retake quizzes and exams as often as you like.

No. Prerequisites are listed as recommendations so you know what background a course assumes, but you can open any course at any time.

The full curriculum is mapped out, and courses are being written and published in order. Courses in development show their planned lessons so you can see what is coming.
