So UC Berkeley offers online courses called C++ for Financial Engineers and Math Foundations for Financial Engineers. These courses are geared towards preparing ppl who want to do MSFE program, both at Berkeley and other schools. Since I haven't taken any programming classes in undergrad and the only math classes I have taken are Calc I-III, Linear Alg, Diff Eq, Econometric, Prob/Stats, will it be helpful for me to take these two online classes? They are quite expensive, and even if I get some tuition reimbursement thru my current employer, I still would need to shell out 1k for those classes. I would appreciate your thoughts/comments!

They both look pretty legit to me. The thing is its hard for me to take classroom courses cuz I have work during the day, but like you said, classroom courses will probably better prepare me. But given the fact that I have already taken Cal I-III, Diff Eq, Prob/Stats, Econometrics, do I need to take more math classes?
 
Hi guys,

I have completed a BA in Economics and a Bsc in Math and will be attending an elemntary C++ course soon. Can someone tell me how no work experience and a non-engineering backround will afftect the likelihood of me getting admitted to a good university for MFE?
