Overview

About the programme

Privacy is not dead. But, our current state of privacy is far from ideal. Data breaches are revealing a shocking amount of data is being collected on all of us. Privacy policies are flimsy, obscure, or unreadable. IoT devices are gathering information about us without anyone noticing. These trends are impacting the bottom line: users are losing trust in the services they use daily and regulators are doling out billions of dollars in fines.

At Carnegie Mellon we’ve spent decades at the forefront of privacy research and our Privacy Engineering masters program is the first and only program dedicated to training software engineers to develop products and services which respect user privacy. Classroom instruction, student research projects, internships, and capstone projects done in partnership with industry give our students the skill set needed to identify and resolve privacy challenges in modern software systems. The skills are in high demand and our graduates earn handsome salaries at the biggest technology companies in the world.
