Admission to the graduate program is done through the Office of Graduate Admissions, Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). The application deadline is in December. Admissions are always effective the following fall quarter. Which is better? Data Science masters program (e.g. UCSD and UCB) or going to a Bootcamp for non-CS undergraduate background.

I have been doing my masters in data science at UCSD and personally I am enjoying it. It's cheaper than UC Berkeley and the entire course is in Python (hence it is consistent through out) and the courses offered seem reasonably marketable (based on my research of job descriptions). Here is the curriculum (not an expert so please let me know your opinions) : http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/mas/dse/curric.sfe
I have a few friends telling me that it's worth doing a bootcamp compared to a masters program in data science as it's much cheaper and the time period is shorter (12 weeks vs 2 years). My reasoning is that, spending 2 years instead of 12 weeks provide more time to practice and absorb material in a structured environment. I hate included my objectives below so please let me know what you think :)
Objectives:
- Job prospects
- Starting salary
- Long term growth

Looks best on google chrome.Probability and Statistics Using Python: Data Science Masters Course (DSE 210).Highly similar to UCSD's 'CSE 250B. Principles of Artificial Intelligence: Learning Algorithms' course.Most of the early portions of the class are worksheet based, but the later portions are mostly in ipython notebook (numpy, sklearn, pandas).
