The irony! The hypocrisy and the double standards stand out like anything. Real experience - The moment you graduate, the faculty will drop you like you are a hot potato, especially if you don't add value to their fan base. The program will create opportunities, and provide guidance, only if you sing praises of the faculty or the program - which is supposed to be earned. One thing you will learn from the program is how to work with arrogant, patronizing, condescending behavior. Want to spend 170K for that?

Unless one is a hard-core technologist, the program does not offer great value to the real technology world. The certificate was pretty useless. The program covers the breadth, but, does not go into the depths. There is more to a career in technology than just business use cases, strategy, and financial analysis. There is no reliable career guidance program after graduation. Students must do their research on the ROI of this program, and not fall for the marketing.
