Courses

Students can become affiliated with Machine Learning @ UW by joining one of any number of affiliated  programs. While Machine Learning @ UW is not a department/degree program and does not directly accept graduate students, faculty in multiple departments and degree programs are affiliated with this group (see People). Students interested in pursuing graduate studies relevant to machine learning research areas should select from the departments and degree programs affiliated with our faculty and apply for graduate admissions.

Selecting a department/program

The choice of department is important, as it will determine the faculty mentors that are available to advise you and the coursework you will fulfill. Prospective students should examine the list of Machine Learning @ UW faculty to determine which departments/degree programs align best with the faculty they are interested in working with and their curricular interests/background. If there is more than one department/degree program that is of interest, you may apply to up to 3 UW-Madison programs with a single application fee. To help admissions committees in these departments/degree programs identify prospective students, the Machine Learning @ UW encourages you to clearly state your research interests in the statement of purpose and note your interest in being part of the Machine Learning @ UW. We also strongly recommend that you contact potential graduate advisors by e-mail to discuss your research interests prior to application review.

Opportunities for funding

Many Machine Learning @ UW faculty are part of interdisciplinary training programs that offer pre-doctoral student trainee-ships. Students are encouraged to discuss these opportunities with their potential graduate advisors during the application process.
