Masters programs similar to Columbia QMSS

[casbahboy]

Hello all,

Having just completed my PhD applications, I am choosing a few schools for masters applications. I would like some recommendations. My favorite program currently is QMSS at Columbia University because it offers a decent data science education with statistics courses, programming, but also prepares me for a PhD in Political Science. I want a program that will help next years poli-sci PhD apps, but also improve my professional prospects for work in policy/M&E research. I already have a years experience running studies for an M&E firm in the third world.

- Computational Social Sciences at University of Chicago.

I believe LSE has a similar program, but I forget what it's called.

It's the MSc in Applied Social Data Science. I applied to both but it seems like QMSS has more course options and it's more flexible. LSE's program is significantly cheaper, though.
