Careers
Secure systems. Protect data. Stop breaches. Shape the future of defense with the Master of Science in Cybersecurity.
An advanced degree in cybersecurity unlocks a powerful range of career opportunities in a field that is growing rapidly and urgently needs qualified professionals. As cyber threats evolve and intensify, industries from finance and healthcare to defense and infrastructure are investing heavily in cybersecurity talent. Roles like cybersecurity engineer, information security analyst, and systems security architect are not only in high demand, but also command strong salaries and offer long-term stability. For professionals seeking a career that combines technical challenge, societal impact, and upward mobility, cybersecurity is a strategic path forward.
This degree is particularly well suited for military veterans. Many veterans already possess core competencies in risk management, situational awareness, and operational security, and these skills translate directly into the cybersecurity field. Even more significantly, veterans often hold active security clearances, which gives them a strong advantage when pursuing roles with government agencies, defense contractors, and companies working in critical infrastructure. The Master of Cybersecurity helps translate military experience into advanced, civilian-ready credentials that build on what veterans already know and align with their mission-focused mindset.
Across the U.S., states are struggling to fill cybersecurity positions fast enough to keep up with demand. Nationally, there are hundreds of thousands of openings for qualified candidates, particularly in states like Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, California, and Florida where defense, energy, finance and tech sectors are concentrated. Employers aren’t just looking — they’re competing — for professionals with the credentials and hands-on training this degree provides.
For individuals with a background in math, computer science, or engineering, this degree provides a seamless pathway to specialization and advancement. Whether you’re starting your tech career or leveling up into a leadership or analyst role, the program equips you with the technical fluency and applied knowledge needed to make an immediate impact.
