2/ As a community it would be good if we could provide a list of alternative courses/resources for people who want to get into Data Science but don't want to support a morally bankrupt company:
3/ I'm a huge fan of http://fast.ai  by @math_rachel and @jeremyphoward https://www.fast.ai/  it requires a year of coding experience and high school math. They follow a unique top down approach that has you training state of the art models in the first lesson
5/ If you want to take a more traditional route, many universities offer online data science programs. KDnuggets has a pretty cool chart of several programs. https://www.kdnuggets.com/2019/04/best-masters-data-science-analytics-online.html
6/ I scraped several sites that rank programs and here were the top mentioned ones (totally unscientific)
* JHU
* Indiana
* SMU
* CUNY
* OK State
* DSU
* Illinois Tech
* Berkeley
* UCLA
* Bay Path
* CMU
* WGU
* Columbia
* Syracuse
* UIUC
* GMU
* NYU
* UCR
* ASU
* CTU
