LSU Partners to Launch AI and Machine Learning Program
NEW YORK – LSU Online & Continuing Education and national tech education provider Fullstack Academy have announced the launch of an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Bootcamp program.
The curriculum, designed and delivered by industry-experienced tech practitioners, is designed to provide the skills and hands-on training needed to build specialized data career paths in AI and machine learning in 26 weeks.
Demand for AI and machine learning professionals is projected to increase by nearly 36% over the next decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, far surpassing the average growth rate of roughly 6% for all occupations. Notably, this AI boom also has the potential to contribute a staggering $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2035, according to PwC.
Graduates of the LSU AI & Machine Learning Bootcamp can qualify for entry-level positions across the country, where the U.S. median salaries for Data Analyst, Artificial Intelligence Engineer, and Machine Learning Engineer roles range from $71,034 to $151,063 (ZipRecruiter). Many positions are available with prominent companies, including Cox Communications, United Rentals, Inc., Veusol Technologies Inc., and the Internal Revenue Service of Louisiana.
The LSU AI & Machine Learning Bootcamp powered by Fullstack Academy will teach students practical and theoretical machine learning with hands-on, application-based training using real-world tools. Designed for both beginners and experienced tech professionals, students of the 26-week, part-time program will learn practical skills used by AI professionals in the field—including Applied Data Science with Python, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Deep Neural Networks—and their applications within Artificial Intelligence technology.
Applications are now open for the live online LSU AI & Machine Learning Bootcamp. The deadline to apply is July 25, 2023, for the program’s inaugural cohort commencing July 31, 2023.
The LSU AI & Machine Learning Bootcamp does not require university enrollment. Scholarships are available to current LSU students and alumni, as well as active-duty service members and veterans. Interested learners can see these details and more on the LSU AI & Machine Learning Bootcamp website.
