Thank you. I apologise for not being on the right forum / thread. Primarily, I would like to study and work in US. However I am open to the possibilities in Canada / Australia / Europe as well (entirely depends on cost effectiveness and industry strength in the country.

Thank you.

Hi @hiteshtrivedi@

Actually data science is a hot topic and on the up rise. Generally, US has the best formal education in that field and even provides more job opportunities. You have 3 options:

1-MBA in high schools that provide data analytics in its curriculum.
Here you can learn data analytics with gaining more knowledge about business. Hence you can make shift to other careers and utilize the data analytic in your career. Most of the big 30 schools offer data analytic as part of the program. You can see Kellogg, Ross, Kelley....etc. But doing MBA will give OPT for 1 year after graduation.

2-do a specialized master in data analytics combined with other branch like finance, supply chain,....etc
Those are usually STEM programs. You can enjoy OPT for 3 years. But I can't cite special program except Rutgers that offer Supply chain analytics master. So you need to search for it.

3- do a specialized master in data analytics.
Those are STEM programs too. But you already have the experience so it might me waste of time to do something you master in real life except if you see many things new for you. I would like to highlight that some programs like Noter dame and Ohio can combine MBA + MS in BA with (Dual degrees more than 2 years) and it is STEM programs.

Maybe you can be lucky and get generous scholarship like this one:

On the other side, I have not came across European school that offer good amount of BA in its curriculum like US schools. But in terms of job, it is somehow on demand and on trend as told by experts in Germany.

Good luck

Thank you for the help. Small follow up question -

For all courses you mentioned in data analytics / sciences, is GMAT enough or do I need to appear for GRE? Also, the link you have provided seems expired.

There is no degree that asks for both tests. IN almost what I have seen GMAT is enough but you need to check under each course requirements.
