My base is calling the market. I do have some quantitative strategies but my mathematics background is very weak with highest achieved @ Pre-Calculus. I'm not sure that an MFE is right for me due to the debt, work, math, etc.

I'm looking for programs that are online only and would cater to someone desiring the role of the trader with a mix discretionary/quantitative style. I've a very strong programming/it background but no degree in that. I'm not per se looking for a job but more something to give me applied skills in following:

Time series analysis
Statistics for markets
Artificial intelligence
Entrepreneurship
Global macro analysis

I'm leaning to a business or CS undergraduate degree. It is very difficult to find affordable online programs though.

Thanks,

I can't argue with that. I don't want to do finance though. I want to trade and design trading strategies which I can already do. But, I'd like to have a better understanding of the theory. Few people understand maths anyway.
 
Let's refocus, it is obvious I do not have the requisite knowledge. The question is are there any programs that fit my specific requirements? I am thinking that a traditional CS degree will cover most of the topics and underlying.
