MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
Signum University is a non-profit online graduate school based in New Hampshire, founded by Corey Olsen, the Tolkien Professor.

Not everything needs a degree: the free Mythgard Academy series, on podcast and YouTube since 2012, offers live discussions of Tolkien and other fantasy and science fiction books, voted on by supporters.
Corey Olsen's online university and Mythgard Institute, with Tolkien courses and the free Mythgard Academy discussions.
