The Data Science MSc at the University of Dundee in Scotland is also worthy of consideration.

I gained my MSc in Business Intelligence there and the Data Science MSc is run by the same people. I'd definitely recommend it:

Applied Data Analytics MSc at Bournemouth University
I would like to draw your attention to masters courses in data/business analytics outside of US. One which seems to stand out as it is delivered in collaboration with SAS Institute, is the Applied Data Analytics (ADA) MSc at Bournemouth University, UK. I think this might be relevant for US students due to lower fees and no language/visa barrier.
