Thank you for your reply.

You are right in that I am a more practical, pragmatic programmer. I do have experience building enterprise applications and project management which is great, but I am lacking in the algorithm side. This is part of the reason why I am pursuing the degree.

Ultimately, I would ultimately like to do something with robotics/machine learning. I have a real passion for automation. I would love to work at a place like Amazon and help build the future of automated distribution. The algorithm side of things would tie all my skills together.

I will talk to the university about their statistics side of things of this course. I will see if I can get a full course outline and go from there. Would be more of a challenge, but worth it in the end.

Thank you again for your reply.

Robotics and machine learning are two entirely different beasts. If you want to go into machine learning, definitely opt-in for the statistics side. Machine learning is arguably more about statistics than about AI.
