Statistics and Machine Learning Major at CMU

If anyone is pursuing this now or have completed this or have friends who are going through this and shared their experiences, it would be great if you can share some details. How is the course work? Are you able to learn in depth statistics and ML? Do you need CS background or courses to practically implement and write programs to complete assignments or learn these concepts in detail? Are these students able to find good internships and jobs after?

Appreciate your response, Thank you very much!

Hello everyone looking at this. I’m class of 2023 Stats+ML. You don’t need CS background at all and from what I’ve heard most people in this major get very good internships and jobs. Message me if you have more questions

Hi, @ElfishPresely I was wondering how are the Stat courses in Stats+ML? I’m a little more interested in the computing aspect of things but SCS is crazy competitive so this might be a nice alternative. Thanks.
