statsgirl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi there! I want to be an applied statistician for a while. Although there is a 10% of change that I would like to enroll in a PHD in the future. Which of this programs will provide me with a better preparation? * Berkeley MA in Stats * NYU MS in Data Science. NYU ex students, can you say that it worths the money you invested in this program? Nice weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confusedbear Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Perhaps take this with a grain of salt since I went to Berkeley for undergrad and I never applied to masters program. Berkeley has some of the most amazing statisticians that have ever existed. I think it was really amazing to be taught by and work alongside people who have contributed so much to the field. In terms of academic reputation I think Berkeley is the clear winner, but it's also valid if you have other priorities other than just the ranking / reputation. However, I can't say much specifically about the masters degree curriculum. Also, the location is really great for finding data science jobs in the tech industry if that's something you're into! bayessays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
