It used to be, but as of this fall the OMSCS and OMSA DVA classes are going to be combined and taught using materials from the OMSA version.
According to Dr. Joyner, this means it will be more focused on ML, Hadoop/Spark, and classification.
As a footnote, I haven’t taken DVA and don’t plan to so I can’t say with much certainty how different it will be, but the above is what I learned from the e-mail Dr. Joyner sent out.
Edit: if you would still like to take the OMSCS version, which is R focused, the course is still on Udacity.

Seems to be these ones: - https://www.udacity.com/course/data-analysis-and-visualization--ud404 - https://www.udacity.com/course/big-data-analytics-in-healthcare--ud758
I'm not too familiar with udacity, but are the contents the same as the actual classes in OMSA? Do you know?

I've heard a lot of horror stories about DVA so I tried to prepare by taking the course on Udacity here https://www.udacity.com/course/data-analysis-and-visualization--ud404
​
If I'm not mistaken, this is the course you're all talking about?
But it was actually really easy and there was no D3, CSS, HTML, or Java. So I'm not sure how to prepare, should I just take some online courses in these subjects?
