Chicago MSFM Online degree is possible

[kitkat]

I liked UC MSFM a lot, but was bummed that it doesn't seem to support the online option.

However, after speaking with one of their admission staff, I learned that an online degree option is possible. You will still need to go onsite for exams but can complete the rest courses and even projects online.

Just want to share this info here, in case if there are folks who didn't know this, and in case this might be a game changer.

Of course, do your own homework, by confirming the info with their staff.

To add to this, I think they mentioned something similar in one of their virtual presentations. They boasted about their extensive library of course recordings, and that courses could be followed part-time quite easily. I don't recall the "online" version, but good to know!

I am currently a part time student who is remote. I am required to go in for exams, but otherwise the courses are streamed/recorded on zoom. It does limit which courses I can take, since only Fin Math courses are offered this way. There are a lot of other great courses offered through Booth or the stats dept that require you to be on campus.
