Why Enroll For Postgraduate Diploma in Machine Learning (E-Learning)?
Machine learning algorithms are transforming systems, experiences, processes, and entire industries. It’s no wonder that business leaders see these data-driven technologies as fundamental for the future—and that practitioners fluent in both fields are in high demand.
At Columbia Engineering, we are fascinated by their world-changing potential, and we’ve created the Postgraduate Diploma in Machine Learning (E-Learning), in partnership with Emeritus, to help students understand the fundamentals of AI and machine learning and how to apply them to solve complex, real-world problems.
The average Teacher-Student ratio in the program is 1:300.
