Michigan vs Duke (MS Biostats)

[backtoschool19]

Hi all!

 

I am currently weighing the decision to attend Duke or University of Michigan to get my masters in biostatistics. I received half funding from Duke and no funding from Michigan. I am torn on where to attend as I am not 100% sold on going on to my PhD (although it is something I am strongly considering). Does the ranking of Michigan make the financial burden worth it (I have no loans as of now)? Does ranking matter industry jobs?

 

Thanks for any advice (or experiences at either program!) you can provide
