I took Calc I - III, Matrix Theory, and Linear Algebra I through the UIUC Netmath program. The classes were not easy, but as you mentioned, they're a well-known university and you definitely learn the mathematics.

They build a lot of practical applications with differential equations in using the Mathematica software, something that I have found tremendously useful in the Macro classes.

The only drawback is that I feel like I was a little behind on the notation aspect when I started taking math courses in Grad school. If I recall, a lot of very common terminology is not used in the UIUC courses, (i.e. scalars, etc) although I picked this up relatively quickly in graduate school.
