[D] Online MS in Machine Learning programs? (alien.top)

Hey everyone!

My work has given us the clear to have some amount of tuition reimbursed for continuing education. I currently have an MS in Statistics, but it's largely focused on traditional statistics with a bit of ML. I think it makes sense to pursue an MS in ML to further my understanding, but since I'm employed full-time, in-person classes are not an option. Does the community have an opinions on which programs may be more or less worth looking into for a respectable credential and a strong learning experience?

I would rather just learn that from YouTube or free resources because the online MS degree is not worth the paper it will be printed on

My MS in Statistics was online, and it was worth getting me the job I have now. You might be a little outdated in your knowledge, but these days a lot of universities put their programs online for remote students. You attend the same lectures, do the same assignments, and take the same tests as the in-person students. It's every bit as rigorous and reputable. You certainly don't say it was an "online degree" in your resume - it's just a degree from that institution, which you obtained as a remote student.
