Students also will learn to apply appropriate mathematical, statistical, and programming to the realm of artificial intelligence and machine learning for a growing number of jobs in the artificial intelligence and machine learning field.
"Students will not only gain the most current technical skills surrounding AI and ML applications, but they will gain skills using the latest deep-learning libraries such as Tensorflow, with a focus on proficiency in Python and software development," said Dr. Charles W. Lively, Program Chair of the Information Technology and Security programs at CSU Global. "This scope reflects the growing demand for these skills in both the public and private sectors."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for software developers and programmers will increase by more than 21 percent from 2018 to 2028, with over 284,100 new jobs; the demand for Computer and Information Research Scientists will increase by more than 16 percent with the creation of more than 31,700 new jobs.* Additionally, a recent World Economic Forum report predicts AI-related skills will be required in as many as 133 million new jobs by 2022 while simultaneously displacing 75 million other roles.**
Enrollment in the new Master of Science in AI and ML is open now. A specialization in this area is also offered to allow students to customize another master's degree program or gain these future-facing skills as a non-degree seeking student. Courses start every month. Interested students should contact Enrollment at 800-92s0-6723 or email [email protected] to get started.
