Udacity Data Analyst Nanodegree

[pluggingalong]

In the WGU BSDA program, the Udacity Data Analyst Nanodegree (UDAN) is part of the WGU curriculum. There are 6 projects in the UDAN.  Do all UDAN 6 projects make up 1 WGU class, or multiple WGU classes?  Or are only some of the 6 UDAN projects done within the WGU curriculum? I'm getting ready to start D496 which uses material from the UDAN. It would be great if the UDAN let me finish off several WGU classes in one shot (or 6 little shots).

Oh, I see in the D496 material it uses 2 of the 6 projects, so that seems to be the answer.

While you're at it, you want to maximize your transfers, see what other certs or credits can come into the degree, max that transfer and then start at WGU again...

I'm actually already in WGU. I'm more than half-way done with the BSDA, so I probably just stay enrolled at this point. I'm not moving super-fast like most people here, but I should finish in 1 more year. That would be a miracle for me, lol. If I ever get another BS degree, I will definitely do the maximum-transfer approach that everyone else does.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I am already in WGU. I studied 32 days to pass an OA, and squeaked by, my brain is not yet back to normal. 

That link is awesome, looks like I will be knocking out several courses through Udacity, thanks!

IDK how it is anymore, but at least in the BSDMDA (before they changed the program to BSDA), the 6 courses that you can transfer in at WGU... were literally the Udacity classes that make up the DAND, to my understanding. I took the option of completing the Udacity DAND and found it to be a much better and cheaper experience than doing it directly through WGU. 

For what its worth, if the Udacity DAND is still part of the BSDA, know that it will have you 150% prepared for the MSDA program. The Udacity DAND is the hardest part of the BSDMDA/BSDA, and the projects that you complete for it are largely of the same complexity and difficulty as the assignments you'll complete in the MSDA.

just checked the transfer link and it no long says "data analyst nanodegree"
now it says "data scientist nanodegree"
