Taking Online Classes while being a full-time analyst

By the end of this semester, I will have 12/33 credit hours done for my masters degree in industrial engineering. If I do the summer term, I can have 24/33 hours done. If I complete online classes (3 hours for each class), I can do one class in each of Fall 2015, Spring 2016, and Fall 2016 to have my masters degree done by the end of calendar year 2016.

Would taking 1 semester-long class in addition to being an investment banking full-time analyst be road-kill for me? I would likely be at a boutique bank, so the hours aren't quite as brutal as a Goldman, JP, Morgan Stanley, etc., but I just want to know what you would think of this.

If all works out, I can get a full-time offer at this boutique bank starting in Sept/Oct of this year. At that point, I would be doing one class each semester for three semesters in order to finish my masters.
