Eastern University Update
#1
I am planning to apply to Eastern University for Online Master's In Data Science. I would appreciate Anyone who is currently enrolled or have completed this Degree provide an honest review here. I know there has already been a thread here, but i would like to get a recent update from people who have enrolled in this program Smile

Did you ever enroll? Looking for some additional reviews and feedback as well.

Wow. That first post was pretty old, May of 2021. At that point, I was taking my 3rd and 4th course in the MS in Data Science program at Eastern.

Since you wanted a review, here it is. I graduated from the program in December of 2021. I was working as a data analyst before I started the program and needed the masters to make the transition to data scientist. I started applying to Data Scientist positions in March of 2022. I used my coursework as my primary study tools to prepare for my interviews. The interviews all went smoothly, and I received two offers (both remote, both 6 figures). I took one and have been a working data scientist ever since.

The degree costs $10K, my original company had a $5K tuition reimbursement, and there was a $2K tax credit. This was easily the single best academic decision that I ever made, next to deciding to take my first computer science course on a whim.

Interesting.  Would you consider the Eastern MS Data Science a better option than the Harvard ALM in Data Science?  It looks like you also have an ALM in IT which is a similar program and wondering if that also helped you secure employment.

Great !  Are there due dates or is everything just due by the last day of class ? Are you allowed to work ahead ? And if so how practical / difficult is it to do that.

AwardTour is currently in the program with a couple of courses to go, a few others are taking the program as well but I am not sure how far they are within the program... Dustin from the sister board completed the program already, a few I have chat with indicated it's a very well put program, no complaints!
