MBA Programs @ MIT and Distance Calculus

Students either accepted or applying to MIT's Executive MBA or Sloan MBA programs can complete their incoming Calculus requirements via Distance Calculus.

MIT's Executive MBA program will accept the DMAT 201 - Applied Calculus - as their calculus requirement course that needst to be completed prior to the first day or classes.

Students heading towards the Sloan MBA program will find the mathematics requirements there more advanced - often students are required to take the upper level courses of Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and even Probability Theory.

For EMBA @ MIT students looking complete their single Calculus course requirement, our DMAT 201 - Applied Calculus - is a perfect course, and is designed for students to be to complete the course on a significant fast track - the average fast track for Applied Calculus student is 3 weeks. This is not an easy three weeks! Achieving such a completion timeline requires a significant dedication by the student to complete the course. We are very happy to support the MIT MBA programs with our Distance Calculus courses.

Please investigate our courses further, and if you have any questions, reach out to the instructor on the Chat mechanism at the bottom of the page to discuss your specific situation.

Our Business Calculus course is called Applied Calculus - DMAT 201 - 3 credits - from Roger Williams University in Providence, Rhode Island.

Our Applied Calculus course is a general, liberal arts introduction to Calculus. It is not specifically a "business applications of calculus" course. While some courses and textbooks do exist like this, we believe that we, as mathematicians, should let the business concepts be taught by the business school, and while you are in the calculus course, we simply concentrate on the calculus topics. Otherwise, the course gets too long with lots of applications that "muddy the waters" for the student looking to finish the calculus requirement quickly.

Here is a video about our Business Calculus - Applied Calculus course from Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University:

Applied Calculus vs Calculus I

MBA students seeking to fulfill their calculus requirement may do so via our Applied Calculus - DMAT 201 - 3 credit course - which is very popular with MBA-bound students.

Even if your MBA school does not require Calculus, your enrollment application to your MBA school will look stronger with more Calculus courses on your academic transcripts.

For most MBA students, a single course like Applied Calculus will suffice.

For those students planning to go to very strongly mathematical MBA program (e.g. Sloan School of Management at MIT), you will actually need to take the ENTIRE Engineering Calculus sequence!

Please explore these links below that describe more about the types of calculus courses you may wish to take before applying for MBA school, or other graduate programs that historically require Calculus and/or more mathematics prerequisites.

Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University offers all of the main lower-division university-level calculus courses.

Amazing professor, extremely helpful and graded assignments quickly. To any Cornellians out there, this is the Calculus Course to take in Summer to fulfill your reqs! I would definitely take more Calculus Classes this way in the future!

I highly recommend this course. I started the Kennedy School at Harvard with a last-minute admission, but my application required the Liberal Arts calculus course, so I had to finish the course in 3 weeks. Diane was an awesome instructor! The class was surprisingly interesting. If you need to take calculus fast, this is the program to use.

I really enjoyed this course, much more than I thought I would. I needed to finish this course very fast before starting my graduate degree program @ Kellogg. I was able to finish in 3 weeks. I liked the video lectures and the homework process. I highly recommend this course.

The courses were excellent. Very flexible and engaging and the platform offers a lot of upper-level courses. Dr. Curtis is an outstanding professor and very responsive. I would take again.

After two failed attempts at my university, this course helped me understand Calculus. The live maths tool along with Dr. Curtis were especially helpful, allowing me to visualize concepts and expand my understanding. The explanations were clear, the examples practical, and I could learn at my own pace, which built my confidence. Thank you.
