Data Science Online Masters

I recently got admitted to the data science masters program in the rawls business school. It only took a week to get my acceptance email which was surprising. I’m joining the spring cohort and was wondering if there are any graduates or current students that have any thoughts about this program.
Why’d you choose this program over other schools such as Georgia tech or Ut Austin?
What are the job prospects like during and after?
How rigorous is the program?
Any other thoughts are appreciated as well!
Thanks

I did this program a few years ago. It's the same as their in-person program. I chose it for the online aspect as I was also working full time.

It's very heavy on statistics. I'm good with math so found it challenging but doable. Others struggled much more.

My job prospects have always been good. I did have a good career beforehand, too, though.
