Thank you both for your replies, and apologies it has taken me so long to respond. @Ace589: I have a BA in Economics, and have worked for the past 4+ years in online marketing and web analytics. I currently live in Boston, and there aren't many good local options unfortunately. I have considered some online options (e.g. Berkeley) but I feel that I wouldn't learn as much as I would in a campus environment, as well as missing out on the networking component. @efh0888: I agree that the business analytics programs might not be technical enough for what I am looking for. I have done some research on NCSU and while they do have impressive career placement stats, I am a little put off by the SAS sponsorship (less agile curriculum). The Northwestern program, which is my top choice at the moment, has similarly strong placement stats that they feature on their site. It is, however, much more expensive than NCSU! You both seem to have negative views on the bootcamp programs - is there a specific program you've heard bad things about?
