Ms data science for 15k

[ifomonay]

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

Amazing. I will definitely review the thread. :-) TY

Hey Dutchdragon, no need to apologize for bumping an old thread. Actually, thank you for doing it. I think it's the only thread with CU Boulder MS Data Science as a focus.

I enrolled in my first course there two weeks ago! I did consider the other schools like Pitt (because it's Top 50). I don't know if you're aware, but Boulder (a flagship state school) is considered an elite school among tech employers. Their engineering school is ranked 19 by US News. Pitt is known more for their medical school while Boulder for engineering. I think data science is more on the engineering side due to the programming and math. Also, one other thing that swayed my decision is that you can enroll in just one unit. The time limit is 8 years, but I figure if I go at an easy pace of 1 unit per term, I'll be done in 5 years.
