If someone had a choice between an MS in Comp Sci or Data Science/Analytics, which direction would you recommend? Why?

Depends upon what you want to do and what the programs really offer. I am a former college professor and two degrees of the same name from two different universities can be totally different. That being said I think the question you need to ask yourself is do you lean towards fields like Operations Research or Engineering? Do you want to spend your days running advanced analysis to find answers or do you want to program systems and design networks?
