You could also find out what text books the MIT courses are using, or find out about books about specialized subjects that are written by "world renowned specialists", and buy those books to study them from. I know some of the great mathematicians, two of them that I know off the bat being Newton and specifically Abel, read from the masters as study material. Of course not everyone can read from the masters because of the many gaps "masters" leave sometimes in their material, most of which they would consider common knowledge.
