WGU Data Analytics Degree Walk-through (Graduate in 6-12 Months!?)

[@ImAlexisBrown_]

Thank you so much for the valuable information. I’m planning on getting my BSBA degree but now I will consider adding on a masters degree in Data Analytics as well.

[@Bubbles-xs7bn]

I’m considering this course so excited to see a updated version thank you

[@laurenemily6777]

I would love to see a WGU Information Technology Degree Walk-through from you!! You are killing it with these video guides 🙏

[@alexsheppe]

Thank you, means a lot to me!!

[@Mycatz]

Got my bachelors from a local college in business information technology Was considering cyber security, Computer Science, or data analytics masters decided on DA Masters and started this month already almost done with my 2nd class.

[@alexsheppe]

Awesome. Update me how difficult you find it and if it’s worth it.

[@kylerowland1227]

Plan to start this degree this year. Graduating with my associates next month and will take all the courses I can before hand to transfer in

[@alexsheppe]

You got this!

[@2king577]

Keep posting we tapped in.

[@alexsheppe]

Plan to. Might have some editing soon too instead of just me talking straight. Thanks for tuning in!

[@Nogo-Bronco]

This video is very helpful! I enjoyed it

[@BrandonMario]

That's why he's the MVP That's why he's the GOAT THE GOAT!!!

[@sedesx0]

Can you do a spreadsheet for the masters? Thank you!

[@growth2509]

Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna do the degree.

[@andyp.1136]

hello I just started watching your videos, I dont have a degree yet and i was looking into Data science at WGU, is the same as data analytics ? would you recommend it ?

[@TheAxum-Tigray]

Hey Alex so Udacity is not an accredited educational institution so how would that work in terms of transferring that? Thanks, mate

[@MrMuhamad1994]

what are some classes that you can take online by yourself for the masters program that will help you accelerate to finish the program in 1 - 2 terms?

[@DMTEntity88]

Does WGU have an internship program where they can help me find a job after college if I need “experience?”

[@edisonp11]

AWS has retired Data Analytics Certificate

[@warbananas6858]

Hey, how would you become a data scientist? Could you do this

[@hotlineblues7570]

Hello Alex, Did you go to Glen Crest Middle School?? You look like a friend I had so I wanted to ask, Thanks

[@YRN_DOAD]

So you can only transfer 90 creds back to WGU? I'm switching from IT to Data Analytics and the left over classes in my term will transfer into my DA Bachelor's. Would it make sense for me to just drop out for some months and work on courses outside of WGU? sorry if my question is confusing.

[@alexsheppe]

I personally would if you want to graduate faster. Depends what courses you have left.

[@CarrotHawk]

Keep in mind that almost all regionally accredited colleges allow up to 90 credits to transfer into a program. Basically, 33% of the credits must be taken by that school to confer the degree. However, just because that is their transfer limit doesn't mean that one class will satisfy another. For example, a student trying to transfer nutrition courses will not satisfy a statistics course. Course that are unrelated to the program and cannot satisfy required courses can often be transferred into open electives. But each program is different. All you can really do is give them your transcript and see what they will allow.

[@icaitox]

Hey Alex, I was looking out for information about this program and I ended up in this video. I have two questions: (i) Can a foreigner that does NOT live in the US apply to the MsC in Data Analytics? (ii) It is unclear for my if there is any guide to tranfer credits from other courses in order to complete the master in one term and only pay $4k. Thank you!

[@alexsheppe]

I don’t believe international students can attend WGU unfortunately. I’m not quite sure I understand the second question.

[@2009Holleywood]

Is there a link to the website that has the nano degree?

[@ThrivingwithOneil]

Hi Alex. Thanks for the insight. I have an undergrad degree in finance, but find myself working more and more with data. My career background is in business development (consultative sales), but I find myself working more and more with research analyst and instructional designers. Do you think the data analyst master's degree would be realistic seeing that I don't have an IT background? I could get the bachelor's for a solid foundation and then pursue the graduate program. Cost is not an issue, but I would like to finish in a year or less.

[@alexsheppe]

Absolutely, I think it’d be a great degree for you! Do some self study first :)

[@Swollnick]

I’m looking into this degree but in high school I wasn’t the greatest at math the highest I completed was algebra and forgot most of it. I got accepted into wgu because I have an associates of a different major. Do you think I will be okay in the math if I haven’t done it in a long time

[@alexsheppe]

You’ll be fine. Do the math courses at one of the ace credit platforms.

[@preciselyavri7944]

what are the ACE credit platforms?

[@jasishbhattarai209]

Can we apply master in English speaking country with the bachelor from WGU?

[@2king577]

Hey bro quick question: When taking nano degree on udacity does it have to be Data analytics? I was thinking of just taking Data science instead.

[@alexsheppe]

Either of the two will work!

[@2king577]

@@alexsheppe Thankyou!

[@strangeroutside864]

I have a bachelors in psychology and and I’m currently getting my MBA but I want a second masters in data analytics from WGU. I don’t have a stem degree how could I qualify for enrollment?

[@alexsheppe]

Might need to take a few data and math courses.. if you do them on Study.com, WGU might accept you. You can also try Udacity's Data Analyst Nano Degree.

[@SeeJay09]

I’m currently enrolled into the WGU Data analytics bachelors. Would it be overkill to also get a masters in data analytics? I heard from people that it may be better to pair the DA bachelors with something like the IT Management masters in order to make yourself more marketable. I do agree that CS or SE bachelors would be better, but not feasible with my time right now, and I’m pretty set on getting into data.

[@alexsheppe]

I would just do the Masters and do everything you can to get some kind of data job.

[@Chillsshorts]

thats crazy did my comment get deleted

[@Chillsshorts]

Do you have an email for questions dont know why my question getting deleted over and over again

[@alexsheppe]

I have not deleted your comment, youtube can be pretty glitchy. You can shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@timmartin638]

Dude how much does this s*** cost this dude keeps saying degree degree degree. What kind of degree you talking about? There's a whole bunch of them

[@KevinRodriguez-q4h]

...

[@alexsheppe]

Everything good Kevin?

[@KevinRodriguez-q4h]

I've tried posting a comment twice and it seemed like it was being deleted so I was testing whether it would occur again @@alexsheppe

[@KevinRodriguez-q4h]

I had posted that I am pursuing my bs in cs and am interested in getting my masters in data analytics. Was wondering if you recommended doing bs in data analytics instead. Although id also consider both bs degrees

[@KevinRodriguez-q4h]

Also, I had reviewed the transferable classes and noticed that some of the classes arent being shown as transferable. For example, if i check health, fitness and wellness it doesnt seem to be on the list. Seems a bit concerning. Could you maybe check and confirm if maybe I am making a mistake?@@alexsheppe

[@alexsheppe]

I’d recommend the CS degree #1, SE degree #2, DA degree #3, and if you can’t seem to complete any of those, do a Business degree. Then, yes, get the Data Analytics Masters degree on top of it. It will make you very marketable. Also, I don’t delete comments (unless they are using profanity or being toxic). So it must be youtube glitching.

[@kimbapslayer1995]

Data analytics is not STEM. It’s literally in the college of business. It’s not an cs or engineering degree bro. But I like the degree as well.
