CalState East Bay MS in Business Analytics

One of my relatives was accepted into MS-BA program for Fall 2020. Do we have any alums in the house from CalState East Bay? How is the MS-BA program at CalState East Bay (professors, coursework)? Job prospects? How was your experience in searching for jobs after you graduated? How difficult/easy was it to get an interview from the tier 1/tier 2 companies? Where does the program stand wrt to the similar programs from other universities (Santa Clara University, SJSU, SFSU etc) in the Bay Area? #businessanalyst #universitycompare #masters Much appreciated.

Santa Clara is not state university. SFSU is bad. SJSU is popular for undergrads. All CSU's are really okeish.

All learning is better than no learning, but CSU East Bay is bottom tier in pretty much all aspects except class size. I've literally heard it described as "ratchet af" by someone who went there for undergrad. -- What other schools have: SJSU - feeder school due to immediate proximity to the Valley, but not good in rankings SCU - small Christian School with a probably very responsive alum network, ok in rankings SFSU - pretty well established MSBA program, but not good in rankings -- Honorable mentions: Standord and Berkeley - duh, but not even on the horizon since you're asking about CSU East Bay UC Davis and Cal Poly SLO - mid tier schools known regionally and close enough to benefit from the bay, but still quite a drive USF - the fast.ai guy teaches there and they have connections, but it's crazy expensive for a school with no name otherwise
