Hi,
I know most of people here are interested PhD programs, but hopefully someone would know a little bit about the quality of Master programs. So far, I got several offers and the ones I'd like to attend are Stat from NCSU and Biostat from Harvard. The pros and cons that I can think of are listed:
NCSU: 1 year program ( May to May), 30 credits (10 courses), need to take qualify at the end, no thesis. Good location, lots of pharmaceutical companies around, cheap tuition and cost of living.
Harvard: 2 years, 80 credits ( appr. 12 courses?). expensive tuition and cost of living.
My focus is to find a job after graduation. I am afraid that even with the degree from Harvard "Biostat" will leave me much fewer options in getting a job compared with "Stat" degree from NCSU.
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you in advance.
