As new privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act require companies to improve the way they handle user privacy, more and more working professionals are seeking formal training in privacy engineering.

“While we’ve offered a full-time Master’s degree program in privacy engineering since 2013, until now we haven’t had an option for those seeking privacy engineering training while continuing to work,” says CyLab’s Lorrie Cranor, co-director of CMU’s Privacy Engineering Program and a professor in the Institute for Software Research and the department of Engineering and Public Policy.
