MSc Data Science - University Of Colorado Boulder

[spohara]

So anyone planning to start or already doing it?

What other options can we look at.
That is probably performance based admission and Online ?

Anything from Universities that are below 300 QS Rank ? Better options than Boulder ?

I've started dabbling in 'audit' mode for a course that is part of the CU Boulder ME-EM.  Not sure exactly what route I'm going to take, but I'm thinking about starting off with a mix of courses from the ME-EM and data science since you're allowed to have 9 hours from data science in the ME-EM and 6 hours from the engineering management in the MSDS.  My thought is a degree in one and a certificate in the other since there can be a wide degree of overlap.

If anyone has started, what are the additional assignments in the for credit vs the non-credit like? Final exam? Final project? Are they generally extensive?
