I wish there were more cheap UL finance courses available I just feel I need to knock out the BSBA requirements quickly (before I leave the country), and the GM seems to be the best path for that. You bring up spending the math money on finance classes instead. I have considered that.

So, if you can't get the work completed by 7/15, then you missed out on the first course; and then they won't let you take the 2nd one. When they originally did this program, it was 2 years ago (maybe more), so it could be a long time before them come around as live courses again. I don't think you can take these without having taken Calc I & II. So you would certainly be in a time crunch to get those courses completed and then try to catch up to this first course, and ready to move onto the 2nd one right afterwards.

Here's the info from the forum posted just the other day:

Intro to Differential Equations (May 16, 2017) - the only fixed date in this class is the midterm, otherwise you can submit all problem sets and the final anytime up until the end of the course. [B]The deadline to apply for the verified certificate (in order to get ACE credit) is July 15. - runs 9 weeks. (3 credits) $49

[B]Linear Differential Equations (August 1, 2017) - runs 8 weeks. (3 credits) $49

[B]Nonlinear Differential Equations (October 3, 2017) - runs 5 weeks. (3 credits) $49

In a nutshell, it's your money, your time, your life...do with it what you will.

Do you know if the Intro Differential course will go into the "B. Theory" part of the ASNSM? Or either of the others? A bunch of us were trying to find a third course that would (along with Calc II and Statistics). For the requirement where they say it can be Calc III (Multivariate Calculus), Linear Algebra (Calculus Based), Discrete Math, Probability, Matrix Algebra, Number Theory. It seems like they might accept other types of courses.

Quote:Yes - differential equations is traditionally the 4th course of the calculus sequence. In brick & mortar schools, I've seen it broken up into Intro/ODE and a separate PDE class (both 3-4 credit). It's novel that one intro class from BU is broken into 3, for 9 credits. (Still trying to wrap my head around this, LOL. But hey, if they wanna hand out 9 math credits like candy, who's to stop them?)

Just be aware that the content still amounts to that one BU intro class in total, in case an interviewer who *does* know math inside/out starts grilling you on advanced DiffEs that 9cr on a transcript generally would indicate.
