MSIT in Privacy Engineering
The world's first and foremost masters degree program dedicated entirely to Privacy Engineering.
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.
世界上第一个也是最重要的完全致力于隐私工程的硕士学位课程。隐私并没有消亡。但是，我们目前的隐私状况还远远不够理想。数据泄露暴露出我们所有人都在收集大量数据。隐私政策是脆弱的、模糊的或不可读的。物联网设备正在收集我们的信息而没有人注意到。这些趋势正在影响底线：用户对他们日常使用的服务失去了信任，监管机构将开出数十亿美元的罚款。
在卡内基梅隆，我们花了几十年的时间在隐私研究的前沿，我们的隐私工程硕士项目是第一个也是唯一一个致力于培训软件工程师开发尊重用户隐私的产品和服务的项目。课堂教学、学生研究项目、实习和与业界合作完成的顶级项目为我们的学生提供了识别和解决现代软件系统中隐私挑战所需的技能。这些技能需求量很大，我们的毕业生在世界上最大的科技公司赚取丰厚的薪水。

What are the minimum TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, and GPA scores for your program?
English language competency is strongly correlated to academic and professional success. Thus the degree program has a minimum English competency score requirement. A successful applicant will normally have a total TOEFL iBT score of at least 100 (with no sub-score less than 22) or an IELTS score of at least 7.5. The degree program does not have a minimum GRE or GPA requirement. However, admitted students generally have GRE scores above the 90th percentile on the quantitative exam and above the 50th percentile on the verbal exam.
你的托福、雅思、GRE和GPA的最低分数是多少?
英语语言能力与学业和专业成就密切相关。因此，学位课程有最低的英语能力分数要求。一个成功的申请人通常会有一个托福网考总分至少100分(没有低于22分)或雅思成绩至少7.5分。学位课程没有最低GRE或GPA要求。然而，被录取的学生在数学考试中的GRE分数通常高于第90个百分点，而在语文考试中则高于第50个百分点。
We are looking for strong evidence that you can do well in our degree program. For example, a description of your research project experience, your involvement in the project, and the impact of the research is good evidence. A description of a large software project, your involvement in the project, and the impact of the project is good evidence. A historical essay that starts with your first use of computers at age five is not good evidence. Please write the essay yourself. Get help of course, but it should be substantially your own words.
我们正在寻找有力的证据证明你能在我们的学位课程中取得好成绩。例如，描述一下你的研究项目经历，你对项目的参与程度，以及研究的影响就是很好的证据。一个大型软件项目的描述，你在项目中的参与，以及项目的影响都是很好的证据。一篇以你五岁时第一次使用电脑开始的历史文章不是很好的证据。请你自己写这篇文章。当然要寻求帮助，但这应该是你自己的话。
Are research publications required for my application?
No, publications are not required, but they are perhaps the best evidence that you can do high quality research. Not all admitted students will have them.
我的申请需要研究出版物吗?
不，不需要出版物，但它们也许是你可以做高质量研究的最好证据。不是所有被录取的学生都会有。
Is work experience required for my application?
No, work experience is not required. However, we value some types of work experience highly, particularly if the experience is close to the type of work our graduates perform. We also value summer internships and undergraduate research experiences.
我的申请需要工作经验吗?
不，不需要工作经验。然而，我们非常重视某些类型的工作经验，特别是如果这些经验与我们的毕业生所从事的工作类型相近。我们也重视暑期实习和本科生研究经验。

We encourage you to apply without having a strong programming background. We welcome students from many disciplines outside of computer science (e.g., design, psychology, business, education etc.) and these disciplines do not necessarily include programming courses. However, students are expected to demonstrate a proficiency in programming that is normally met through an introductory course in C, C++, Python, or Java. Your programming proficiency will be evaluated during the prerequisite review process and you may be required to take an additional programming course before you can continue in the program.
Do I have to submit GRE scores?
The GRE General Test is strongly encouraged. If GRE General Test scores are not submitted as part of your application, we strongly encourage you to submit a portfolio and other relevant materials (such as coursework) to demonstrate your abilities and readiness for the program’s rigor.
How high do my GRE scores need to be?
There is no minimum GRE required, as each group of students varies year to year. With ETS’s inclusion of the Analytical Writing Test, the practice of simply adding the GRE scores as a means of assessment may no longer be viable.
What is the minimum TOEFL requirement?
For the iBT, a minimum score of 25 in each the subsections is strongly preferred although on occasion we will accept students with a speaking score of 23 or 24. If your speaking score is below 25, we may contact you for an interview via Skype. For the Computer Based Test (CBT), a minimum score of 250 is required. For the Paper Based Test (PBT), a minimum score of 600 is required.
目前有多少学生参加这个项目?
从2019年秋季开始的队列有29名学生。
课程在计算机科学学院。但是，我没有很强的编程背景。我还能申请吗?
对!这是由计算机科学学院人机交互与迪特里希人文社会科学学院心理学系联合教授的跨学科课程。我们鼓励你在没有很强的编程背景的情况下申请。我们欢迎来自计算机科学以外的许多学科(如设计、心理学、商业、教育等)的学生，这些学科不一定包括编程课程。然而，学生们希望能够熟练掌握编程，通常通过C、C++、Python或java入门课程来完成。您的编程能力将在先修课程复习过程中进行评估，您可能需要参加额外的编程课程，然后才能继续学习该课程。
我需要提交GRE成绩吗?
强烈建议参加GRE普通考试。如果GRE普通考试成绩未作为申请的一部分提交，我们强烈建议您提交一份档案袋和其他相关材料(如课程作业)，以证明您的能力和对课程严格性的准备。
我的GRE成绩需要多高?
GRE没有最低要求，因为每组学生每年都不一样。随着ETS纳入了分析写作测试，简单地将GRE分数作为评估手段的做法可能不再可行。
托福的最低要求是什么?
对于iBT，我们强烈希望每个小节的最低分数为25分，尽管有时我们会接受口语成绩为23分或24分的学生。如果你的口语成绩低于25分，我们可以通过Skype联系你进行面试。计算机基础考试(CBT)要求最低分数为250分。对于纸质考试(PBT)，最低分数为600分。
