Edgewood College/UpGrad DBA; potentially $11,250

[Thalltampa]

I would be interested to learn more about the tech and AI concentration, but it doesn't appear anywhere on the Edgewood College DBA website. What kind of courses are they offering?

Hello mcjon77,
The Tech and AI concentration is new from my understanding. I opted for this concentration as I am a programmer and work in a technical field with AI for the past three years.

I was sent a brochure, but that seems too big to upload here.

I asked UpGrad for more details on this and here is what they sent me.

Tech and AI

1. Cloud Computing for Strategic IT Leadership: This course equips senior leaders with the advanced knowledge and practical skills required to design, deploy, and manage scalable IT infrastructures using cloud computing technologies.

Through real-world scenarios, learners will develop the strategic and technical acumen to lead cross-functional teams in the creation of impactful and market-ready IT solutions.

3. AI and Machine Learning for Leaders: This course provides a comprehensive exploration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, focusing on their application in enhancing organizational efficiency and driving innovation. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of predictive models, algorithm design, and the integration of AI and ML into business processes. The course emphasizes the strategic use of AI/ML technologies to solve complex problems, forecast project success, and create competitive advantages.

One of the professors mentioned in the Edgewood College brochure is "Dr. John Henry, with 20+ years in AI and machine learning, is Principal Data Scientist at Mitsui Sumitomo, CEO of Story Makers, holds a Ph.D. in Statistics, and has taught at multiple universities."

I am assuming he will be part of the Tech and AI faculty.

I also asked if the specialization will be mentioned on the degree. I was told it will be mentioned in the transcripts.

Hope this helps.
