Is this program doable for me?

Hi everyone! I'm a single mom of 2 (shared custody) and work full time as a business/data analyst for a large insurance company. I've been in this field for 4 years and have been considering returning to school to further my knowledge in data analytics. My undergrad degree is not in STEM - I have a BS in Business Administration. I have experience in SQL but am not super advanced. Of the 3 specializations, DE looks most appealing. What's the workload like? Lots of programming and math? I know it's not as heavy on those as the data science specialty but am still wondering how much of it to expect.

I'd have to take classes part-time, and I'm wondering if it's worth doing the WGU pay-by-term route, or if a traditional part-time university program would better suit my situation. Any and all advice is appreciated.
