You should try to apply in data science courses only. Choose for an alternative only if you do not qualify for data science courses.

If you can’t get into an MS in Data Science (MSDS) program and end up in an MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) program:

  • MSBA: Prepares you for data analyst or business analytics roles. You might need additional skills or experience to become a data scientist.
  • MSDS: Directly aligns with data science roles, providing a clearer path to becoming a data scientist.

If data science is your goal, prioritize applying to MSDS programs. MSBA can be a backup, but be prepared to upskill for a data scientist role.
