NYC actuary wanting more schooling

[Loose Seal]

Hi everyone! I have a bit of an atypical question (I think). I'm a property/casualty actuary in NYC and I've finished all the exams (which makes me an FCAS, a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society). While I've learned plenty from the exams, I am realizing that my working knowledge of useful statistical techniques is lacking. I think that getting a better understanding of useful applications like predictive modeling would be invaluable skills to add to my repertoire. They're really useful for insurance/business but having that background would be useful for anything I might do in the future. But statistics isn't so pleasant or easy to learn on your own, so I've been thinking of applying to a part-time masters program in applied statistics.

Since I live/work in NYC, I want to stick with the city. Because I'm really doing this for my own knowledge, brand names really don't matter to me at all -- I just want a program that will help me learn applied techniques. Columbia's program seems like it might be a bit theoretical, and it's also really expensive. NYU (also expensive) has a masters in math, but their statistics is some joint MBA program which I'm not so into. Stony Brook is a good option, but it's too far away. Someone asked about this in a different thread, but CUNY's Hunter college has an applied stats program -- this would be great from a cost standpoint (about $10K instead of ~$50K) but I'm not sure about the quality of the program.

Any ideas? I did okay as a Math/Econ undergrad (3.5 GPA) at a top 15 school but the power of statistics didn't really come alive for me until I started working. Thanks!
