Is an MS in Data Science from UConn worth it?

Hey folks, I’ve been looking into Master’s programs in the US, and the University of Connecticut (UConn) caught my eye, especially its MS in Business Analytics and Project Management (BAPM) program. I eventually want to work as a Data Scientist, but I’m not sure how UConn is viewed when it comes to job opportunities. Does anyone know if this is a good option career-wise? Also, how competitive is the University of Connecticut acceptance rate for MS programs?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s been through the process or knows more!

Hey! I’ve been looking at UConn too, mostly for its location and strong business focus. From what I read, BAPM is more analytics-heavy than hardcore data science, but grads do land solid jobs in data-related roles. Curious to know if anyone has firsthand experience!
