It's only $5k more than Eastern, and the granularity is you can register for just 1 unit at a time. It's a huge step up from Eastern. Eastern is a regional school while CU Boulder is a big name AAU school. I'm a degree collector like many others here, and thinking of throwing in the CU Boulder MSDS to my resume. No application; earn your way in like HES.
Yeah, agree that is a good price, although if price was the main criteria, UT austin is a better bang for the buck than both Eastern and CU.
From reading the Eastern MSDS threads, what I understand is the appeal of Eastern is how quickly you can complete it compared to other similar programs. There's also the fact that you can take exams multiple times to get your desired grade - so that is a bit less stressful from an academic standpoint.
Many people underestimate how hard DS/AI is unless you have a prior background in both stats and CS. A lot of CS folks struggle with stats and vice versa. If Eastern is "easier" then that definitely adds to the appeal.

I think the data science masters is classified as an executive masters, so the tuition is $500 instead of $315. So 500 x 31 = 15,500.
