Interdisciplinary Programs
The Machine Learning Ph.D. is an interdisciplinary doctoral program spanning three colleges (Computing, Engineering, Sciences). Students are admitted through one of eight participating home schools:
- Computer Science (Computing)
- Computational Science and Engineering (Computing)
- Interactive Computing (Computing)– see Computer Science
- Aerospace Engineering (Engineering)
- Biomedical Engineering (Engineering)
- Electrical and Computer Engineering (Engineering)
- Mathematics (Sciences)
- Industrial Systems Engineering (Engineering)
Admission to the ML PhD program is contingent on meeting the requirement for admission into one of these schools. It is possible that, due to space or other constraints, that you are admitted to the general PhD program in your home school but not the ML PhD program.
The ML PhD program is a cohesive, interdisciplinary course of study subject to a unique set of curriculum requirements; see the program webpage for more information.

Program Costs
- Go to "View Tuition Costs by Semester," and select the semester you plan to start. Graduate-level programs are divided into sections: Graduate Rates–Atlanta Campus, Study Abroad, Specialty Graduate Programs, Executive Education Programs
- Find the degree and program you are interested in and click to access the program's tuition and fees by credit hour PDF.
- In the first column, determine the number of hours (or credits) you intend to take for your first semester.
- Determine if you will pay in-state or out-of-state tuition. Learn more about the difference between in-state and out-of-state. For example, if you are an in-state resident and planning to take six credits for the Master of Architecture degree, the tuition cost will be $4,518.
- The middle section of the document lists all mandatory Institute fees. To see your total tuition plus mandatory fees, refer to the last two columns of the PDF.
