Worth it to take Wharton Online Accounting Course/Certification?

I'm a sophomore at a non-target, currently at boutique remote internship, 3.5, going through interviews for this summer at boutiques and hoping for IBD at a BB or EB next summer

Long story short I can't take any accounting classes until next semester. I have no otherwise finance coursework under my belt, other than micro/macro economics. Since accelerated recruiting is coming up within weeks, would it be worth it to take one of these accounting/corp finance classes online that Wharton offers?

And if so how should I put them on my resume - under School or under Certifications down at the bottom?
I'm just trying to boost my resume as much as possible at this point and having Wharton under there would look real fucking nice. Also the courses themselves I am sure would be very helpful as so far I've been learning technicals/financial analysis straight from the interview guides as well as youtube videos.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/wharton-finance is the course I was looking at. Thank you!

 

I have some Coursera on my resume and I have them under certifications and make sure you get the courses that give you the cert you can put on LinkedIn. I'm not sure exactly ho much these help, but they certainly can't hurt.

 

Be careful listing heavy accounting stuff on resume. It’ll open you up to getting difficult technicals in interviews.
