Thanks for these detailed answers!

Thanks for the reply.

>I'm just saying that I seem to have more luck with people coming out of those traditional programs.

Would having a master's in data science and also a traditional undergraduate STEM degree be beneficial?

>as you add more jobs to your resume, the specifics of your education matters less and less.

In my case, I'm attempting to move from a non-technical role to a technical one, with my master's degree serving as my gateway into the field, since my previous job experience isn't relevant. Do you have any tips on how to make my resume stand out to recruiters?

>As a hiring manager in the data science/ml world in healthcare, I generally think of degree programs in "data science", "machine learning", "artificial intelligence", "deep learning", etc as being less valuable than degree programs in the corresponding fields

What if the data science degree is essentially equivalent to a computer science degree? The program I was admitted to permits students to enroll in graduate-level computer science courses, such as algorithms, networking, and systems, which contribute to the degree requirements.

Would you still hold a bias against those individuals? The data science program I was admitted to is essentially a computer science degree augmented with some statistics and AI courses.

I believe it would be misguided to categorize all data science degrees under a single label and to discriminate against hiring from these programs based on false assumptions.
