Hello all Eastern Data Science Master students,


I decided to speak up to the Dean Patricia Reger concerning the inaccurate test grading issues. She is wanting to hear from other students who are experiencing the same thing to get to the bottom of it. If you would like to speak up about it, you can email her at preger@eastern.edu

I also found another Data Analytics regional accredited school with minimal admission proceed at $10,500 for the whole program https://online.nwmissouri.edu/programs/m...admissions. Speaking up resolved no issues so I am cutting my losses and moving on to NW Missouri program even if they don't take my credits from Eastern.

Have you considered WGU's MS in Data Analytics? Or are you an international student (non-US based)? 

WGU's MSDA program was updated in Nov or Dec of last year. They took out the SAS certs among other things. There are 3 proctored exams total. The rest of the courses are projects. 

Non-STEM undergrads such as myself will need a cert or certificate in something programming related to be admitted into the program. I have not spoken to any advisors recently. Before the changes were made I was told that a SAS-1 cert would be good enough or any Microsoft SQL Server cert. SAS is no longer relevant to the program so I will avoid taking that. 

If I pursue that program I will check on what the updated requirements are with admissions.

Even though I have an undergrad in Information Technology, I did not qualify. At this point, I would prefer the state school instead of the primary online school.
