Data Science, HELP!! Selecting University

[rajduseja]

Hello all. I want to pursue Data Science. I have two admits from two promising universities, however, given that I consider both to be equally good, I will really appreciate if someone could point to me something worthwhile.

Admit 1: New York University CUSP MS program in Urban Science and Informatics, 1 Year, 30 credits

Admit 2: Northeastern University MS program in Data Science, 2 Year, 32 credits. 

 

NEU is well known for it's Co-Ops(paid), but on the other hand, at NYU CUSP, I will be working with a government agency for my 6month capstone project(unpaid). In both programs, I will have to complete 8 courses. I have the option for studying upto 3 courses from other NYU schools like Courant, CDS, Stern if I opt for NYU CUSP. 

 

I really really need some help so that I can make a final decision
