admin Great Learning, a leading global ed-tech company for professional and higher education, announces the launch of MIT Professional Education’s Applied Data Science Program with curriculum developed and taught by MIT faculty, and delivered in collaboration with Great Learning. The comprehensive curriculum for the twelve-week program will be delivered on weekdays, followed by sessions over the weekends by Great Learning mentors and industry experts.
Details about the Program
MIT was named the world’s top university for the eighth year in a row based on factors such as academic reputation, employer reputation, and citations per faculty, student-to-faculty ratio, proportion of international faculty, and proportion of international students. The curriculum for the Applied Data Science Program starts with basics such as Statistics and increases in complexity as it moves into Graph Neural Networks. It is designed for working professionals and entrepreneurs aspiring to learn contemporary and advanced Data Science topics. After successful completion of the program, learners with prior experience in programming and statistics should be able to understand various Data Science techniques and their applications to real-world problems, and how to implement various Machine Learning techniques to solve complex problems and make data-driven business decisions. The program offers hands-on exposure to industry-relevant projects created by Data Science and Machine Learning experts via live and personalized mentored learning sessions.
