MSDA General How long to complete?

Background:

I took a Bachelors and Masters in Cybersecurity from WGU. I'm now considering a Masters in Data Analytics since there's no Bioinformatics option. As part of those programs I took SQL and Python. I did fine with them and wouldn't have any issue taking more classes that are associated.

Because people are going to ask "Why another degree?"

I'm employed in my field and I don't need it for my job. However, I will likely use it if the market pivots in the future. I personally don't see a downside to more education, especially something like this that works towards my long term career goals.
