I come from a liberal arts background, and did absolutely nothing quantitative in college. My job is in sales and operations, so I do juggle some numbers, but it's not like I'm in finance or anything. My GMAT Quant score reflects this (perhaps a little bit more faithfully than I would like it to)
If I plan to take a class through Continuing Education so as to bolster my quant profile, what class is recommended?
Financial Accounting Principles?
Microeconomic Theory?
Principles of Finance?
Intro to Calculus?
(I should say that I have already taken an Intro to Statistics class for graduate credit, and earned an A, and am planning to do MBAmath.com. The reason all the options are via Harvard is that I work there so I can take classes for free)

Based on your overall GMAT score I am not really sure what you are complaining about. However, of the four courses you listed I would recommend not to waste your time on Calculus. Many programs ask you to have it in pre-requisites just to see that you have the chops for quantitative courses. However Calculus in its pure form is not used in MBA courses. The most you will get is the derivative formula or specific application based on the Calculus. The Calculus willl be mentioned only by reference. So go for Calculus only for your personal satisfaction/curiosity/interest/self-gratification. Other three courses will help you to get familiar with more specific subjects actually covered in MBA programs. So if you have time, definitely go for them.

I would have to disagree with the sentiments of the poster above me, I think Calc I is the one to take given your liberal arts background. While I do agree that calculus does not have much application in b-school courses, getting an A in that Calc course would be a good way to display your aptitude. I am taking extension courses myself to build an alt transcript and supplement my ug gpa, and when I was researching what courses to take I was told that adcom looks for the basic courses in statistics(which you have), accounting, and calc I.
