University of Nebraska at Omaha Online Machine Learning Graduate Certificate

This is a 12-credit machine learning certificate from the College of Information Science and Technology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. It starts three times a year and can be taken online. It fits you if you already work in an information systems role and want machine learning skills. Ask for the total cost, including fees, before you apply.

The Machine Learning Graduate Certificate is offered by the College of Information Science & Technology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, a public university in Omaha, Nebraska. The program page lists traditional and online delivery modes. The school explains that online programs can generally be completed entirely through asynchronous online courses, while traditional programs require some in-person attendance.

The catalog lists the certificate at 12 credits. 0 GPA. That work requirement makes this a certificate for people already in the field, not for career starters. The university enrolls about 14,972 students, according to federal data.

Students can begin in fall, spring or summer, since the certificate has three start dates a year.

The program page lists traditional and online delivery modes, and online programs can generally be completed through asynchronous online courses. That means you can usually work without logging in at set times, but ask whether every course in this certificate is offered online each term.

There are three start dates a year. Application deadlines are July 1 for fall, November 1 for spring and March 1 for summer. Those dates are firm enough that you should plan backward from them to gather transcripts and proof of work experience.

Who It Fits

• You have a bachelor's degree, a 3.0 GPA or better, and one to two years in an information systems role.
• You want deep learning and pattern recognition coursework without committing to a full master's.
• You prefer a choice of start dates, since the school admits in fall, spring and summer.

Who Should Skip It

• You have no work experience in information systems. The admission requirements ask for one to two years.
• You need a posted price before you decide.

The certificate is 12 credits. Two courses are named in our research. Fundamentals of Deep Learning covers neural network methods, and Pattern Recognition covers the techniques used to find structure in data.

Ask the graduate advisor for the course map. The school names career paths such as machine learning engineer, data scientist and business intelligence analyst. Ask which courses build the skills those roles ask for, and whether your first term has prerequisites in math or programming.

Courses the School Names

• Fundamentals of Deep Learning
• Pattern Recognition

With 12 credits, the final cost will depend on the graduate per-credit rate you are charged and any fees, and that rate can differ for residents and non-residents.

Before you apply, ask the school for the exact per-credit price for online graduate students, the fees added to each course, and whether the rate is the same if you live outside Nebraska. Get the total in writing so you can compare it fairly with other certificates.

You would earn a Graduate Certificate from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, through its College of Information Science & Technology.

The certificate is a short credential you can add to a resume. If you want it to count toward a master's later, ask the graduate program chair, Myoungkyu Song, or the graduate advisor which degrees accept the credits and whether the grades must meet a minimum.

School-wide federal data list a 47% graduation rate and an 87% admit rate for the University of Nebraska at Omaha, which are not results for this certificate.
