online courses

[TheRock]

Hi,
I won't be applying to an mstp program for another year, and i already graduated from college, so I am wondering if schools "look down" or "critically object" to taking online courses, in topics from cancer biology (which was not offered at my undergrad school) and advanced calculus to shakespeare? I just want to learn more in these topics and taking them online is certainly cheaper than dishing out thousands of dollars to some school, but the concern is that adcoms would view it the wrong way... thanks

I don't think Adcom can know which class you take online because the transcript just listed the course you took and it won't say whether it was taken online or not.
