Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for Executive Education in Technology Policy (CEE-TP) provides courses that inform government officials and other current and future leaders around the world about public policy issues related to technology. We serve leaders from many countries, with an initial focus on the policy issues of information and communications technology (ICT). Thanks to generous support from the U.S. State Department’s Digital Connectivity & Cybersecurity Partnership, we are able to offer executive education scholarships to select leaders from developing countries. Our courses help governments and important private sector actors in these countries make informed decisions, so they can establish policies and regulations that foster accessible and secure information infrastructure, encourage investment and innovation, and generally meet the needs of their citizens.

Carnegie Mellon provides a broad and multifaceted ICT curriculum. It includes courses in telecommunications (e.g. 5G cellular, spectrum management, broadband policy, digital divide, satellites, emergency communications), cyber (e.g. cybersecurity, privacy policy, cybercurrencies), and other emerging technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence, cloud storage and services, connected and autonomous vehicles). The entire curriculum is highly interdisciplinary, mixing technology, policy, economics and business issues. This content is delivered by world-class instructors with extensive experience in academia, government and industry. Courses are available both online and in-person, from Carnegie Mellon sites in Africa, Asia and North America.

Carnegie Mellon is among the world’s leading universities in technology, and the policy issues of technology. Carnegie Mellon is known for its Department of Engineering and Public Policy (EPP), which is affiliated with this center. EPP conducts forward-looking research and offers BS, MS and Ph.D. degrees on the policy issues associated with technology, from next-generation cellular to autonomous vehicles to renewable energy to climate change. Carnegie Mellon is also known for its Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, its School of Computer Science, its Tepper School of Business, and its CyLab Security and Privacy Institute. Faculty from all of these CMU knowledge centers contribute to this executive education program, as do world-renowned thought leaders from government, industry, think tanks and public interest groups, and other universities.
