Japanese History Course

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Premodern Japan, I've signed up for a distance-learning diploma in Japanese history and culture (I'm not looking forward to the anime/manga/maid cafe section ). It generally looks like a nice course, if a little basic. I started looking around for university-level course but found the syllabi were heavily skewed toward business and modern popular culture which isn't my thing in the slightest.

Does anyone know of any slightly more academic/higher level (perhaps even degree level) online Japanese history courses that I could have a look at? I don't mind paying to enroll upon them.
I've been browsing around for something more academic or degree-level—ideally focusing more on historical and cultural depth rather than the modern pop-culture-heavy syllabi I keep stumbling upon (business, J-pop, etc. just aren't my thing).

While organizing my study plan, I started thinking about how to manage some of the heavier assignments more efficiently. That's when I considered trying Appendix in Research Paper: What You Need to Know - not for shortcuts, but to get help structuring essays and clarifying complex historical arguments. It seems like a decent tool if used responsibly, especially when juggling several topics at once.

If anyone knows of any high-level online courses in Japanese history (preferably with a more traditional academic focus), I'd love some suggestions!
