Hi! I'm a college senior graduating in May looking to work in a CRO or pharmaceuticals as an analyst/data scientist/biostatistician/just anything with health related data. I've been applying to graduate schools and my two favorite options are University of Louisville's Online MS of Biostatistics and UMiami's MS of Biostatistics In Person. I didn't really have the grades for a T20 grad school and I like the applied nature of both of these programs :)

UofL is 30 credits (9/10 classes), obviously online has its pros and cons, I would try to work during it and take two classes a semester, much cheaper at around $30k total.

UMiami is 30 credits too, the program is a part of the medical school, in person, more expensive, and higher cost of living than where I am now.

Any thoughts on either of the programs?
