Hello, I have been creeping on this thread for a while, and I think it is about time to post my question and share my stats.
Is there anyone who knows well about University of Rochester's MSDS program?
Seems like it is a good program, yet I am little bit concerned by its location and possible job opportunities for internationals.
FYI, as you will see from my stats, I had a great deal of experience in neuroscience yet decided to discontinue studying neuro
and pursue career in data science.
