Hi, Canadian business schools open up Master of Management in Analytics degrees this year (McGill, U of T, earlier Queens) . This seems to be something that's unique to Canadian business schools since no where else offer this degree. Master of Business Analytics degrees are more commonly offered by business school. They cost around $40,000 for about 10 months of training, and since they are new, there is no employment data. Hardly any graduate talks about it online either. I want to get into the data science field but I lack the technical background, so the syllabus seems relevant to me. My question is: 1. Do I become more employable for beginner data science roles with this degree? What is the demand for this degree? 2. What is the different between business analytics and management analytics? Thanks! http://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/Degrees/MastersPrograms/MMA https://www.mcgill.ca/desautels/programs/mma/program-structure

I am a graduating student from a good Canadian university expecting a BA in economics, and I am looking into applying for a Master in CS degree in U.S.. My profile is a bit irrelevant since I was not preparing to go in this direction. have minor mathematical&CS background --- elementary econometrics, statistics, economic modelling. No linear algebra, no calculus. Only an introductory course in Java, plus a bit of SQL and Python. Economics could be very quantitative, but that is not the route that I took. I extended a three-year program into a four-year program for some personal reasons. My grade is about 3.85+, no previous job experience, only experience on an economic history project with limited use of quantitative methods. I plan to do GRE and make up for my lack of Math qualification after graduation. I wonder which schools and programs should I aim for after given my background? I know that there are a few programs such the arts-friendly Msc program at UChicago, but not many. I also looked into degrees such as Msc in Economics and Computation, but I am not sure how useful they are. I would also like to take some suggestions on what else I could do in preparation for a master degree in CS and for the change of my career path. ( for example, whether there are credited non-degree programs in CS that I could take.) Thanks!
