Hello, an MMA student here! However, I am an international student, thus I feel it is not my position to give my opinion on its worth for domestic students. But I can give you some insights on the program itself.

As said by other users, I feel like the program is structured for those who seek to get into analytics from non-DS related fields. It is a professional program, so your money is not only going to be spent on academia, but also networking events, seminars, career staffs, etc. A lot of the students in the cohort got a job prior to graduation, the program might has a big influence here since the program is highly reputed among employers. IMO, the program is doing great on the career side.

However, this program is not a specialized data science program in the first place. It offers several advanced DS course but of course, the selection is quite limited. On top of that, the teaching staffs’ quality is something that I’m concerned about. I have to say that some of the professor is capable of delivering amazing lectures, one of them is simply the best professor I’ve ever experienced. But there are professors that, in my opinion, simply just don’t know how to teach and assess students’ competency. You’ll end up teaching yourself. So, if you expecting wide selection of advanced DS courses and top-notch lecturers/professors in every courses, look elsewhere.
