r/WGU_MSDA

I just failed my second attempt at the foundations of coding final. I did better than the first time but clearly not good enough. I have no real tech experience so I’m not sure if that’s hindering me, but I really want to get into this program. I read the study guides and watch the review videos as well. I have a degree from WGU already. TIA

For graduates, how has this program boosted your career? I am considering applying because my company will offer to pay and the cost of the tuition will be totally covered. The one thing I am wondering is if the name of school matters where I get my masters. I see this one has rolling admissions and it will allow me to complete it faster as it is self paced allowing me to look for data analyst roles faster. But I am wondering if I should take the extra year + money out of my pocket to attend something like Georgia tech. My current role uses a graph based internal tool built on top of spark and gcs but I want to switch into a more data analysis heavy role I just don’t have the experience with data analysis concepts or reporting. I figured because I have the ability to go after a masters I try for this one and try to switch laterally or at a different company. Do you think this masters is a good use case for me?
