University of AZ: Are these 10-wk Business Analytics Cert Courses Worth the $?
#1
Need some advice, please.
I just finished a bachelor's degree at UMPI in Business Admin with Project Mgmt and Info Sys.  I am waiting for the degree conferral from UMPI.  
Meanwhile, I am unemployed and actively searching for a job as a Business Analyst or Systems Analyst at a bank or credit union.  I will need to begin making payments on my student loan in July.  So far, I haven't had any interview calls.  I am beginning to apply for administrative assistant positions because I'm afraid I will not find a job.

I am interested in this 10-week online Business Analytics certification course hosted through my hometown b&m school, the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ (hosted through a company called GreenFig).  Cost is $2,450, which is pricey.  It is almost the same price as two sessions at UMPI!  I would literally have to charge it to my credit card. 
My thought process is that a certification from my local university may improve my chances of securing an interview, and I am also interested in learning Tableau.  The course package offers one-year online access to a Tableau cert course.
Has anyone taken any of these types of certification courses through their local universities?  I know Arizona State University in Phoenix (Tempe), AZ is also offering something similar.
Here is a link with info on the University of Arizona course: Business Analytics Science      This is the syllabus.

I would love to hear any comments/opinions on this course, or suggestions for an alternative or a similar online certification course that isn't as pricey?
