PhD in Cybersecurity Programs

Research doctorates in cybersecurity, and computer science or computing PhDs with a formally documented security track or concentration. A faculty member who researches security does not make a PhD a cybersecurity PhD. Professional doctorates are not listed as PhDs. How research degrees work.

School or program name

Online with no mandatory campus visits

Only online programs whose official page states that no campus visit or residency is required.

Degree

Dedicated degree or concentration

A concentration keeps its real degree, e.g. MS in Computer Science — Cybersecurity Concentration.

Specialization

Mapped only from official curriculum evidence.

Location

State

City (optional)

Where the school (or delivering campus) is. For online programs this is not where you must live.

Format & attendance

Delivery

Class schedule (online)

Study intensity

Internship

Published duration

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Accreditation & designation

ABET-accredited program (verified)

This exact program appears in ABET's accredited-program database. An ABET-accredited school does not make every program ABET-accredited.

NSA CAE designation (school)

Current designation in the official NCAE-C directory. A designation is not accreditation.

Institutional accreditor

Cost, funding & deadlines

Published tuition

Matches only programs that publish tuition on that basis. Per-credit, per-year and whole-program figures are never compared.

Verified scholarships or funding

Scholarships, assistantships or service scholarships (e.g. CyberCorps SFS) published officially. Loans do not count; service scholarships carry obligations.

Deadline

Order

Clear all

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, and an unverified attendance policy is not “no campus visits”.
