Prerequisites for MFE - straighterline.com

[DmitryK]

Hi! I did not have calculus in the university, so I need to gain college credits outside of a degree to fulfill the prerequisites for the MFE. Does anyone know about this company offering college credits online? http://www.straighterline.com/online-college-courses/mathematics/

Any experience of having these cc accepted for a MFE program?
It has many partner universities, but not the main ones.

Thanks!

I can only speak for our Quant program at Michigan, but I would not recommend these classes to fulfill the prereqs for an MFE. One thing our faculty consider in making admissions decisions is the quality and rigor of the school where students complete their math courses. From that perspective, taking classes at more established institution will likely be more expensive, but it will strengthen your application much more than if you take them through a for-profit online company.
