GalvanizeU vs. University of Minnesota MS in Data Science

[ptngxx]

After much consideration, I have narrowed it down to these 2 programs. I came from a Biology and Statistics background in undergrad. However, I mostly had experience on wet lab biology as I thought I wanted to go into research, which I didn’t. Long story short, I want to pursue data science as my career now, and I’m wondering which program would be more suitable for me. I’m more inclined towards Galvanize as it’s more industry-focused and the internship will give me so much more hands-on experience. I also think that SF is also more beneficial in terms of networking with people in this field. Nevertheless, 2 years at UMN would give me a more solid background, and cost of living in Minneapolis would also be cheaper. With my goal of getting into the industry right after completing the program, which one do you think would be better? Thank you.
