The demand for natural language processing (NLP), or the ability to render human language through computational systems, is exploding. From applications such as customer-service chatbots to online language translators to AI-enabled virtual assistants, NLP has become increasingly sophisticated. Technology professionals who are highly proficient can earn six-figure salaries in a market that Statistica predicts will grow to $43 billion by 2025—an increase of more than 1,400% in less than a decade. Natural Language Processing, a 10-week online program available through the Executive Education program from Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science, provides both a fundamental understanding of NLP and an overview of its applications. Working at the intersection of language and mathematics, you will learn how to use a variety of tools and resources, including deep learning, to develop innovative NLP solutions for everyday challenges. Through its world-renowned Language Technologies Institute, CMU School of Computer Science is a recognized leader in the NLP field. Our expert faculty will guide you through the challenges and complexities of NLP in a thorough and logical way. By the end of the 10-week program, you will have hands-on experience with NLP along with a foothold in this burgeoning field.

As the primary programming language taught across universities, Python is favored by a growing number of organizations and digital platforms in technology, finance, healthcare, media, and government. It is the easiest programming language to learn if you are new to coding and a smart choice if you want to expand your skills as a software developer or data scientist. Since 2019, more than 1 million unique job postings in the United States have sought candidates with Python programming skills, making it the preferred language for today’s job market. Drawing on decades of expertise as the world’s first and most-respected computer science school, Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science now offers Programming with Python. In this program, beginners can learn how to write computer programs. It is a comprehensive program that will teach you to write clear, robust, and efficient code from the fundamentals. Using top-down design, effective testing, and debugging, our 10-week online program will help you write readable programs, apply algorithmic thinking, and make the most of Python’s massive number of open-source libraries
