What fields of study are you interested in? 

Are you only looking for degree programs, or are individual courses acceptable? 

What level degree are you interested in?

What kind of Macintosh do you have, and what OS does it run?

Why do you need a PC for online course? Is it because you can't hit
the URL with your Mac browser, which doesn't sound right to me?

Or is it because you need Word compatibility and think that is not
available on a Mac because Word is written for the PC?

If that is the problem, google for openoffice.org and specify the
Macintosh platform. That should give you Word compatibility. However,
since this is important, dig through the FAQ on openoffice.org and see
if it explains this in detail before you try something that does not
work.

Let me say in plain English that OpenOffice.org is a free word
processor which is specifically implemented for maximum compatiblity
for MS office programs -- unless MS has something new that I don't
know about.

Anyway, I apologize if my answer is not relevant.
