    I'm simultaneously enrolled in the micromasters in Business Analytics from Madison Business School, University of Wisconsin.
    That one starts in September and should also be finished by May.
    It will cover SQL database design, Python and programming in R, Tableau, AWS, statistics and cloud computing technologies.

    I did some prep courses on Coursera yesterday as a primer. Thoroughly enjoyed the logical reasoning part.
    Thank God we live in a time where all this wealthy information is so easily accessible nowadays.

    Great work! Hope the interview/training goes well for you. It's good having an option to ladder up the Micromasters to an actual Masters if you ever wanted to. Either way, you learn and earn, gain knowledge and earn credits towards something later. Yes, with the online learning, MOOC's have all this information available for free or at least affordable...

    My reading material for the Brown School (WUSTL) Post-Master's in Program Evaluation came in today :)
    Soooooo excited to start this program in October.

    They had to be creative with payment methods though because apparently their regular payment methods only accept US-based credit cards.
    So was allowed to pay through wire transfer.

    Program is 45 CEU and level is between EQF 7 and EQF 8.

    They asked a lot more than I thought, to get in.

    I had to show them my bachelors ( 3 years instead of 4 ), my master's and I had to take a language proficiency test.
    Employer had to write a recommendation letter.
    They take their admissions very seriously, I have to say.

    On another note: I love how fancy their certificates look.
    A very classical design.
    Love that about US degree certificates.

    Let me know how you like it! I considered doing a Master's in Program Evaluation and Measurement or similar myself. I really enjoy program evaluation and policy analysis and want to bolster my quantitative skills to be more effective in this area.

    For those who are curious, here is what the certificate looks like: https://media-exp1.licdn.com/dms/image/C4E22AQFuvw7I19WyjQ/feedshare-shrink_1280/0/1637689084078?e=1664409600&v=beta&t=ezA8hj6r2ZCzgt3wO41UPotVNWxY6LTehFerec_cyFk

    I'll keep a little diary/ journal about the program so that you have objective facts / measurements to use in your decision-making process ;-)
