Of the online degrees offered, most are for those looking to further a career or gain a more erudite outlook of life. But if you are someone who enjoys straying off the beaten path, there are a few innovative courses that will tempt you to sign up. The Illinois Virtual Campus (IVC) of the Illinois University has a few fun courses ranging from personal interest offerings like ‘Trace Your Family History – Genealogy’ and ‘Write Your Life Story’, to plain wacky ones like ‘The Beatles’ and ‘Just for Fun’. IVC’s website offers more information on these ‘Just for You’ courses.
