I just finished my bachelors degree and want to start my masters degree as soon as possible. Anyone have any experience with WGU & Eastern University. I'm planning a degree in Data Science Masters Degree. Thanks for helping out. I'm trying to accelerate this degree so which ever is beneficial timewise.

Quote:Advanced Data Analytics prepares students for career-long growth in steadily advancing tools and techniques and provides
emerging concepts in data analysis. This course hones the mental and theoretical flexibility that will be required of analysts
in the coming decades while grounding their approach firmly in ethical and organizational-need-focused practice. Topics
include machine learning, neural networks, randomness, and unconventional data sources. Data Mining II is a prerequisite
for this course.

Quote:However, because the MS in Data Science is a highly quantitative and technical major ... acceptance requires applicants to demonstrate current skills in:

1) Statistics and probability including descriptive statistics, skewness/kurtosis, histograms, statistical error, correlation, single variable linear regression analysis, significance testing, probability distributions, and basic probability modeling;
2) Linear algebra including basic matrix manipulation, dot and cross products, inverse matrices, eigenvalues, representing problems as matrices, and solving small systems of linear equations;
3) Programming in a high-level language such as Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, C, Ruby, or SAS (2+ years). Applicants must be able to write working code from scratch;
4) Relational databases including connecting to and manipulating data, working with tables, joins, basic relational algebra, and SQL queries. Two or more years of experience with Microsoft Access can be substituted if the applicant is able to perform the same operations without using Access’s graphical interface; and,
5) Analytical thinking including the ability to translate real-world phenomena into quantitative representations and, conversely, the ability to interpret quantitative representations with practical explanations.

Skills in these areas will be assessed in two ways:

1) Completion of credit-bearing coursework with a grade of B or better from an accredited college or university OR 2+ years of relevant experience on a resume; and,
2) Completion of a mandatory challenge exam that will assess current skill and knowledge in these areas.

Quote:If you have completed credit-bearing courses in the above areas or have used these skills at work but are no longer proficient, we offer three bridge courses: R Programming, SQL, and Data Science Math. These bridge courses are intended to refresh knowledge and skills, but are not for individuals who are learning these topics for the first time.

Quote: I have actually spoken with a few people here privately after Eleverson wrote a negative review. My conclusion now is that it is a good program and I will probably enter that program in the next few months.
