That does seem like a very good program, I've talked about the school before, but not this particular program. If you search the board, they've been mentioned in regards to inexpensive Doctorate or PhD programs as well, and another Masters here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ers-Online

Oh Snap! What, why didn't I think of that... Hmm... Let me check out other countries and see if it became more affordable too.

The work experience must be at a graduate level, in either a managerial or professional capacity which may include voluntary work, placements, internships, or project management

This is fair. I believe. Capella takes a PMP equivelent to almost a BA, and fulfills almost 75% of your degree with it.

I've seen a lot of posts about these degrees and they seem to be quite useless in terms of learning what you need to learn. You might be better off taking a coding bootcamp, because 12 months is not enough time to properly learn the things that you need to learn to be competent. Maybe a second bachelors in CS might be more useful because I think the process here should take 2-3 years. That second bachelors in CS from Boston University MET looks real juicy, but too bad is not fully remote.

It must be emphasized that it depends on the individual. I often get bored awaiting others to learn the material and I am certain to have plenty of company.

The problem with a bootcamp, especially for a data scientist position, is that you probably won't even get past the HR screener to get to an interview.

For a tech position, a degree has basically 3 purposes:
1. Get you to the interview
2. Give you enough knowledge to do well in the interview and get the job
3. Give you enough knowledge to do well in the job for the first 6 months to a year

Of the 3, a degree MUST do number 1.  If you don't get past number 1 the other two don't count.  If I were taking this degree and felt that it was deficient in some topics, a super easy way to solve that problem is to supplement it with Udemy type courses.  Now you have a degree that gets you the interview and self-study that helps you do well in the interview, get the job, and perform well there.
