NEW HAVEN - Ten new college courses - ranging from organic chemistry to ancient Roman architecture to the psychology and politics of food - have been added to "Open Yale Courses," the university's popular free educational initiative, available to anyone with Internet access.

Each course was recorded in its entirety as it was presented to Yale College students by Yale professors. Open Yale Courses may be accessed at oyc.yale.edu.

The courses are available in high definition video and audio formats. All offerings are multi-media with rich visual elements on the screen, supplementary slide presentations and even music clips (as appropriate). Yale has partnered with Google/YouTube and Apple iTunes U to make the courses more accessible and to allow faster downloads. Interested individuals may download the video and/or audio files of Open Yale Courses and watch and listen to them at their leisure. No registration is required.

More than one million unique visitors from 191 countries have accessed the site since its debut in December 2007. Said President Richard C. Levin, "Making the Yale classroom experience accessible online allows us to share our extraordinary resources with an audience far beyond the campus."
