Online courses in quantitative finance?

ezbentley · October 5th, 2009, 6:19 pm

I am looking for schools that offer courses on quantitative finance online on a "for-credit" basis(not just seminars or MIT opencourse). I would like to take courses for credit in case I decide to pursue a degree(MFE or similar) later on. So far I have found that Stanford(SCPD) and Columbia(CVN) both have online programs through their professional education centers. Is there any other school that offers similar programs online? Does anyone have experience completing courses or degree programs online on a part-time basis?

Is the CQF a credential employers will look at seriously?Also CQF credits are not transferable if i decide to pursue a degree later on.

depends what sort of job you want. if you are going to work as some sort of quant or quantative trader, then perhaps it gets respect somewhere close to an MFE. if you sit an MFE after then whats it matter. knowledge is power... why not buy a book like hull/wilmott and you will have studied everything taught on these courses.
