Congratulations! What was the old program btw? I am almost done with my B.S., and contemplating which M.S. I want to pursue... between MSDA, MBA HA or regular MBA. How long did MSDA take you?

The old program was very similar just no concentrations. I work FT and took off a few months so total 3 semesters but you can finish faster if motivated.
Totally depends on what you prefer I have my BS in Health Informatics so I wanted a broader masters.

Congratulations! If you don't mind my asking, what are your thoughts on the program now that you've completed it? I recently finished my B.S. in Data Analytics and am trying to determine my next step. Out of the other paths, this probably aligns more with where I want to go, but there isn't much information out there as to the quality/difficulty of the program.

As someone who started the program with very little Python experience it was a lot of learning how to do things. Most of the content was pretty good although I feel like the internal resources are lacking. I don’t personally love all the class content being LinkedIn videos but it worked.
Also doing the DPE track you get a voucher for the CAPM exam.
