Should I take this Advanced Investments Class?

Hi, I'm an undergraduate looking to go into hedge funds/asset management for the long-term. I have the option to take this advanced-level MBA class at Chicago Booth School of Business and I was wondering if any current employees in asset-management or hedge-funds could speak to its usefulness? Or would it better to stick to a more standard portfolio management/corporate finance class?

Thanks!
