NSA CAE-Designated Cybersecurity Schools

123 schools in this directory hold a current designation in the official National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) directory and have at least one verified cybersecurity degree listed here. The designation belongs to the school and its validated program of study — it is not accreditation, and it does not mean every program at the school was evaluated.

Designations whose published period has ended are not counted. Listed alphabetically; this is not a ranking.

Designation for institutions with a cybersecurity research program meeting the NCAE-C research criteria (typically doctoral-granting).
