Need help choosing: UC Davis MSBA or Purdue MSBAIM

Hi everyone,

I’m deciding between two offers for a Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA):

• UC Davis MSBA – $25,000 fellowship
• Purdue MSBAIM – $6,000 scholarship

After estimating tuition and living costs, the total cost seems fairly similar for both.

I’m an international student interested in business/data analytics roles rather than heavy machine learning or software engineering.

What factors should I consider when choosing between these programs? For example, career outcomes, recruiting opportunities, location advantages, etc.

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone familiar with these programs or who went through a similar decision.
