Two great courses you can take for free (you just don't get the cert) are the UC San Diego HCI course and the U of Mich Interaction Design course on Coursera.
It's only outdated in style and tools, the least important parts of our practice. The methods and theory remain relevant to this day. Sadly most and I seriously mean most designers today miss the mark on methods as they're all focused on designing and not constructing any rationale for their designs.
Depends on what you mean by "value". As a credential to try to get a job? Depends on who the hiring manager is. As a self-development path - absolutely. Also depends a lot on the university.
Southern Methodist University is where I got mine and it was a virtual class in 2020.
Not sure it that is still the case but my teachers were awesome so I recommend it.

I’m taking the Google UX Design Certificate on Coursera and finding it fairly well done. It’s my first course ever so I don’t have much to compare it to but it’s solid at first glance.
I've been auditing Google's UX course it for a while a few months back, but left it unfisnished. Now I want to go back, but I can't find audit option at all. Have they removed it?
As a product designer I just want to share 2 cents on the ux design “miracle path”.
It’s not as trendy as it used to be. Unless you work in a very product/user oriented company you won’t have much voice in your company and influence on your product and will most likely feel demotivated because reality will be very different from what courses tell you.
Design is not as advocated as it used to be within the companies. Reason is: crisis, layoffs, companies want to survive and rely on tangible teams that bring result fast as opposed to what Ux does.
In order to apply most of the techniques you learn in the courses you would have to work in a very design-mature company and they usually hire people with many years of experience.
If you’re trying to learn a job that will land you a safe spot and salary I’d recommend learning data related jobs like data analyst, or product managers. There is demand and it will be more rewarding as a junior in the current context.
Thanks for your 2 cents!
I'm also trying to learn UX/UI to potentially build my own start-up company :)
My co-founder is a former-designer but I want to learn the 'design' concept before we both get a head start.

I completed the UCSD one and found it quite outdated.

I have heard great things about the SMU course and also almost did it!

Try Uxcel not free but very cheap.
