Online Masters Degree in Statistics

[Alex Claver]

Hello. This is my first post! I couldn't find a thread on this so I will make one.

 

ONLINE MASTERS:

I am looking for an online masters program that is academically rigorous and not just a waste of money. Either MA or MS is fine.
I want something that requires at least six courses; certificates usually let you get away with four to five only. However, I would need to finish this degree before Fall 2019.
Any recommendations for affordable ones? I am in New York City. (Out-of-state tuition is a consideration.)
 

BACKGROUND:

Applied math BS. I have worked in finance for two years and will continue to do so until an MBA.
 

GOALS:
Got to a top 7 MBA in Fall of 2019.

Learn stats on my own because I may want to do a more quantitative or trading-like role, opposed to banking/consulting. Unfortunately, MBA curricula aren't so math/stats heavy.

I don't care about the prestige or marketability of my stats degree, I just want to prove on paper that I have the knowledge. The prestige and networking opportunities will come from my current work experience and the B-school.

LIST:

I found this massive list. I'm afraid it may be more marketing than an objective evaluation.

I am not sure but I think these online courses are good:

1) https://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/degrees-and-certificates/applied-statistics-masters/overview

2) https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/courses/purescience/mathstats/statistics-financial-mathematics-msc

(Review: https://www.r-bloggers.com/getting-a-statistics-education-review-of-the-msc-in-statistics-sheffield/)

Programs by Iowa State and NCSU should be good too.
