Washington University in St Louis (WUST) has launched a new online masters in data analytics:

Tuition is $1200 per unit x 30 units = $36,000. Reasonable tuition for a WUSTL-branded degree.

The only issue I see is that the program is offered through CAPS which is the School of Continuing & Professional Studies at WUSTL. I prefer to see Business Analytics programs housed in the B-School and Data Analytics/Data Science housed in the Engineering School. UChicago, WUSTL, Columbia, and other top tier universities seem to be throwing it in their School of Professional Studies which make no sense to me.

The degree title being "Master of Data Analytics & Applications" (MDAA), as opposed to a standard title like Master of Science, might also be an issue for someone.

I 2nd this. UC Berkeley has MIDS, UMich has MADS, UNC Chapel Hill has MADS, and there are others. I’d be curious to know why they go for this degree title versus the Master of Science.

Unconventional degree titles can get a little annoying. I have a Master of Security Studies. Some applications don't offer "master's" as a generic option. You're forced to choose MS, MA, or MBA. Some applications will go further and list MEd, MArch, MFA, etc., but Master of Security Studies will never be listed. I just flip a coin and choose MS or MA and call it a day.
