Hi,

I was looking to do some coursework in business subjects (finance, economics, stats, accounting) that could provide with the fundamentals of atleast undergraduate level. I could figure out some courses from UCLA ext and berkeley ext.

Does anybody have any first hand experience of these? How is the content and rigourous nature of these?
Any other info anyone has?

Cheers,
Sohrab

I've had a solid experience so far taking Intro to Stat through the Berkeley Extension. The coursework isn't the toughest you'll get, but it will suffice. It's really what you make of it - how well you do the reading and participating in class chats. Pace of the course is totally up to you - I plan to spend about 3-4 months on the course.

Stats and Accounts are the best to start with. These are considered to be the areas which you will need to brushed up well. Whats going to be your major?
