Hi,

I am a working professional. Have completed an ungraduate degree (3 years) in Information Technology [so have some knowledge of programming], and an MBA. All my education and professional experience have been in India only. I have close to 9 years of work experience in business research, business intelligence, competitive intelligence, industry research.

I am planning to go for further education in Data Analytics, preferably in the US.

What I have observed is the majority of the data scientists have prior degrees in either statics or engineering or economics. Since I don't have an engineering/statics/economics degree specifically, is it something that I might not be considered a good fit for data analytics job opportunities in the US after completing the business analytics education.

What all I can do to help my case.

Would be great if could get some valuable pointers from you.

Best Regards

GMAT/MBA Expert

Hi JBGMAT,
Unfortunately, the MS in Data Analytics is a bit out of our line, so I don't have any expert advice to share on this topic.

Good luck with your search,
Margaret
