    This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) and the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MS-AI) degrees offered on the Coursera platform. These interdisciplinary degrees bring together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the CU degrees on Coursera are ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.
