Data Science or Business Analytics masters?
I’m graduating with a bachelor’s in MIS at DePaul university.
I want a great follow-up masters degree, I’m hesitant between DS or BA.
So I would like to work within the field of analytics (data, marketing, etc) and a BA does fit that, however I may want to do more in the future, not a guarantee but I may possibly go into AI/Machine learning. DS from what I understand should be able to cover those jobs within all those fields. I should be able to work in almost if not all BA jobs with a DS masters.
I feel like DS may have more versatility, but at what extent? Also, would the starting salary be higher in an analytical field with a DS or a BA?
Not sure how wrong I am, or the gap between the two masters.
If anyone knows someone’s with a Masters in DS, please let me know, thank you!
