Great comment indeed. The number of universities that have created MS in Analytics or Data Science programs and the number of students that have enrolled in them over the last few years is staggering and IMO unsustainable. The quality of these programs is also very uneven - there are a few great ones but many seem to have just cobbled together a few database courses from the CS department, a few classical statistics and probability courses from the Math department and a few marketing courses from the Business department and called it a MS in Analytics program. Likewise, the expectations students have about the type of work they'll be doing and the expectations companies have about the value that will be realized are both completely out of alignment. /rant off
