An open conversation about Udacity's two online master's degrees: the MSc in Artificial Intelligence and the MBA for AI product management.
Patrick Donovan (Marketing) and Jared Molton (VP of Consumer) answer real questions from learners around the world — covering accreditation, cost, curriculum, prerequisites, and what the experience is actually like.

A few of the things we get into:
- How the two programs differ and who each one is for
- How accreditation works through our partner Woolf (recognized in 60+ countries)
- The cost model — included with a Udacity subscription plus a one-time $199 fee, with most learners finishing in about 19 months for under $5,000
- Recognition of prior learning, and how work experience can count toward up to a third of the degree
- How the curriculum stays current as AI moves
- The support you get: human-graded projects, an active community, and live mentor sessions
