I just saw that TESU MS DSA announcement email and I was heading here to post that as well.
As TESU sent out emails announcing the new MS degree just this morning, I guess it is indeed brand new.
Statistics.com responded to me with additional information. While the topics sound very similar, the MS program is quite a different arrangement than the BS degree program.
1) Courses are delivered by Statistics.com but conducted though TESU's learning management system.
2) Subject matter is similar but courses are 8 weeks long instead of the 4 week courses offered directly through Statistics.com for the BS degree program.
3) Courses include encompassing final projects.
4) Tuition is paid to TESU.
5) Courses directly earn TESU credit, it is not based on ACE recommendation credit.
I expect this rules out taking the coursework independently of the TESU degree program. This would also explain why the Bachelor's to Master's program would be complicated for this degree.
This is all quite interesting. I guess the next question is what is the tuition cost going to be for this arrangement.
