Thanks, that was my intuition as well. I'd actually suggested doing the Stats BS with a couple of intro programming courses, then a data science boot camp, then a couple years as a data scientist before doing the MBA. The reason for the MBA was so she had a sense of the business value of the analyses she was performing, and, was more 'promotable' to executive positions.
