Carnegie Mellon University Launches Cybersecurity Program
Carnegie Mellon University announced it will offer a new master’s program in cybersecurity designed to address the growing need for IT security professionals in Washington D.C.
The new program, which is expected to launch in August 2020 is designed to tap into a new mix of students and early-career professionals, and connect those learners with top cybersecurity talent in the region, says an Edscoop report. The majority of coursework will take place online, adds the report, but students will also have the opportunity to convene in-person at CMU’s D.C. campus for group sessions, seminars and exams, said Gregory Touhill, an adjunct faculty member for the program.
