Not a fan of people taking a full time 2 year program. Analytics programs right now do not provide a good enough return to offset the tuition + 2 years of no work. I’d suggest doing a part time masters while working. Take a look at the GT OMSA program

Most masters programs for analytics you can get done in 1 year. Curriculum varies widely so do your research

Not sure how the year off abroad serves the cause..

What type of salary ranges are to be expected from a decent analytics program for an entry level position?

I did a part time MS in DS while working and it was well worth it
