What is an online master’s degree and why get one?

An online master’s degree in cybersecurity is designed to provide the same education as an on-campus degree.  The main difference is that the course content is provided online rather than via in-person classes.

The format of an online master’s degree provides more flexibility than on-campus options.  Students can decide to take courses full or part-time, and they can take classes synchronously or asynchronously, enabling them to fit the courses into their schedules. Also, online coursework means that students can learn from anywhere.

Pursuing a master’s in cybersecurity may be essential for gaining promotions, and usually comes with a significant pay increase.

According to PayScale, the average salary for an MS in cybersecurity is $96,000 compared to $78,000 for a BS in cybersecurity. The $18,000 difference in average pay can cover the cost of the most affordable online master’s programs in under a year.

Online master’s in cybersecurity coursework (what you will learn)

Online master’s degrees are designed to provide the same experience as in-person degrees. This means that these programs will likely cover the same core concepts, including:

  • Foundations cybersecurity
  • Network security
  • Computer security
  • Cybersecurity law and ethics

Beyond the core curriculum, students will also have the opportunity to take electives or pursue a specialization.  Some examples of these include:

  • Digital forensics
  • Cybercrime
  • Critical infrastructure
  • Malware analysis
  • Incident response
  • Penetration testing
  • Cryptology and cryptography

A cybersecurity master’s program should also provide the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in working in cybersecurity via labs, internship opportunities, and capstone projects. Through these opportunities and other career-building and networking events, students can meet people in the field and explore potential opportunities and job prospects after graduation.

Online master’s in cybersecurity requirements

Like any other degree-granting program, an online master’s degree in cybersecurity has certain requirements for admissions.  Some of the most common requirements include:

Bachelor’s degree: Many online cybersecurity master’s degree programs will include a bachelor’s degree in their admission requirements. In some cases, an applicant may be able to substitute demonstrated years of relevant work experience for this requirement.

Prerequisites: Cybersecurity master’s degree programs often require coursework or work experience in certain fields as a prerequisite. Examples of common prerequisites include computer systems, networking, and programming.

Recommendations: Many master’s degree programs require two or three letters of recommendation as part of the admissions process. These can be from professors or colleagues familiar with the applicant’s work.

Beyond these core requirements, different schools may have additional requirements for admission into an online master’s degree program. Some programs require applicants to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Applicants may also be requested to provide a resume or CV, write an essay, or undergo interviews as part of the admissions process.

When evaluating potential online master’s programs, take a look at their admissions process.  The admissions requirements and the acceptance rate can provide clues regarding the quality of the master’s program and how well-respected the online degree will be.

Funding an online cybersecurity master’s

Tuition rates

The Cybersecurity Research team took a deep dive into all of the available online master’s in cybersecurity programs in the United States.

What we found is that there are currently 143 programs (check out the complete list at the bottom of this page). All of the figures below are based on out-of-state tuition data.

Here’s a breakdown of how much tuition costs for an online cybersecurity master’s degree:

$10,720 is the lowest-cost degree option and is available at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

$33,835 is the average cost of an online cybersecurity master’s (again, based on 143 programs).

$140,040 is the most expensive degree option available at the University of Tennessee.

Paying for an online degree can be different from an on-campus degree. Two important considerations are the affordability of the degree program and the availability of scholarships and other financial aid.

Online degrees are often more affordable than on-campus ones for a few different reasons:

Synchronicity: Unlike on-campus classes, courses in an online degree can include pre-recorded lectures combined with virtual Q&A sessions and office hours. This can reduce the cost per credit because courses can be larger or more numerous.

Infrastructure: Online courses require less infrastructure (classrooms, dorms, etc.) than in-person ones. This means that a college has less overhead for online courses, which reduces the price.

Housing: When pursuing a degree program on campus, it is necessary to live by the school providing the degree. This requires either paying for room and board on-campus or renting nearby. With an online degree, there is no need to move and rent to be nearer to a particular campus. Additionally, students can take advantage of geographic arbitrage, where they live in one location and attend a more competitive or less expensive college elsewhere.

Scholarships and financial aid

While online master’s programs are often more affordable than on-campus options, they still cost money.  However, a few options exist to help defray the cost of tuition.

A number of cybersecurity master’s scholarships are available from government organizations, reflecting the need for well-qualified professionals in both the public and private sectors. A few examples of cybersecurity master’s scholarship opportunities include:

The National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program. This is not only a great funding opportunity but is a big resume-building opportunity. The fellowship is open to both master’s and doctoral students.

The Navy’s Information Assurance Scholarship is open to bachelor through doctoral students both as service members and civilians (although civilians are required to work for the Navy in a non-uniformed role upon graduation).

The Department of Defense provides the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship for Service Program. This is also open to bachelor’s through doctoral students and cybersecurity is included as a critically important area.

The public sector is not the only source of potential funding for graduate school. Some additional sources of potential tuition assistance include:

Corporate sponsorship: The cybersecurity skills gap is a major concern for many organizations. For this reason, an organization may be willing to provide tuition assistance or full reimbursement for employees pursuing a degree in cybersecurity.

Private scholarships: Beyond the federal government, there are private scholarships as well.  Some companies and professional societies offer scholarships to candidates pursuing degrees in particular fields.

Research positions: Research assistantships are a common source of funding for on-campus Master’s degree programs, and online students may be eligible for them as well.  Cybersecurity is a field where graduate research can be performed off-site without access to a specialized lab.

Prize money: A number of different cybersecurity capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions are held each year. Some of these offer scholarships or other cash prizes that can be used to help pay for an online Master’s degree in cybersecurity.

Career paths with a cybersecurity master’s degree

The cybersecurity industry is experiencing a significant skills gap with an estimated 4 million unfilled positions worldwide. The demand for cybersecurity professionals is expected to continue to grow, creating many opportunities for qualified cybersecurity professionals.

The core curriculum of a cybersecurity master’s degree is designed to provide students with a broad grounding in cybersecurity. This positions a student well to work in various capacities based on the field of cybersecurity they choose.

However, cybersecurity master’s programs also offer opportunities to choose electives and specializations. Taking advantage of these opportunities can enable a student to lay the groundwork for more specialized roles, such as a cloud security architect, forensic analyst, etc. (Check out the careers section for more specifics about degree requirements and opportunities).

While cybersecurity professionals are needed in general, these specialized skill sets can be in even greater demand. Taking the opportunity to explore specializations and gain these skills during a master’s program opens up a variety of potential roles.
