Data Science is a huge subfield, some Comp Science programs now have it as a concentration to select from. It really depends on what you're wanting to do, there are other very similar routes people go, AI, Big Data, Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, Data Science, Machine Language, and a mix of various others.

Boulder now charges $15,750 USD. So Pitts outcompetes marginally price-wise. Admission-wise, both are performance-based but Pitts assumes absolutely no knowledge and incorporates basic maths and programming into the program. Boulder, conversely, recommends students take three free prerequisite classes before enrolling.
Apologies for bumping this old thread, but I'm currently doing research into DS online masters.
An important distinction is that Pitt is NOT solely performance-based as they do require a regionally accredited bachelor's degree, while UC Boulder does not. (confirmed by myself via email to Pitt). As my Bachelors in CS is only nationally accredited, sadly, I won't be allowed to enroll there.
As I bumped the thread, I guess I will ask for some updated opinions of people here:
Are there any $15k-ish online masters in Data Science options that people suggest I look into?

There are so many options to select from, I highly recommend taking some time reviewing posts, threads, WIKI, and making a short list of programs, here's an example from earlier in the month, I've linked the user to many more posts/threads of mine, you want to review links here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-from-TESU
