Cybersecurity Guide

From scholar to expert: Cybersecurity PhD options

In this guide

• Industry demand
• 2024 rankings
• Preparation
• Considerations
• School listings

The cybersecurity landscape is not just growing—it’s evolving at a breakneck pace. And what better way to stay ahead of the curve than by pursuing a PhD in cybersecurity?

This advanced degree is no longer confined to the realm of computer science. Today, it branches into diverse fields like law, policy, management, and strategy, reflecting the multifaceted nature of modern cyber threats.

If you’re looking to become a thought leader in this dynamic industry, a PhD in cybersecurity offers an unparalleled opportunity to deepen your expertise and broaden your horizons.

This guide is designed to give prospective cybersecurity PhD students a general overview of available cybersecurity PhD programs. It will also outline some of the factors to consider when trying to find the right PhD program fit, such as course requirements and tuition costs. 

Industry demand for PhDs in cybersecurity

Like other cutting-edge technology fields, until recently, cybersecurity PhD programs were often training grounds for niche positions and specialized research, often for government agencies (like the CIA, NSA, and FBI),  or closely adjacent research organizations or institutions. 

Today, however, as the cybersecurity field grows to become more pervasive and consumer-oriented, there are opportunities for cybersecurity PhDs to work at public-facing companies like startups and name-brand financial, software, infrastructure, and digital service firms.

One trend that is emerging in the cybersecurity field is that cybersecurity experts need to be well-versed in a variety of growing threats. If recent headlines about cybersecurity breaches are any indication, there are a number of new attack vectors and opportunities for cybercrime and related issues. Historically, committing cybercrime took resources and a level of sophistication that required specialized training or skill.

But now, because of the pervasiveness of the internet, committing cybercrime is becoming more commonplace. So training in a cybersecurity PhD program allows students to become an experts in one part of a growing and multi-layered field.

In fact, this trend of needing well-trained, but adaptable cybersecurity professionals is reflected by the move by cybersecurity graduate schools to offer specialized master’s degrees , and many companies and professional organizations offer certifications in cybersecurity that focus on particular issues related to cybersecurity technology, cybersecurity law , digital forensics , policy, or related topics.

That said, traditional research-oriented cybersecurity positions continue to be in demand in academia and elsewhere — a trend that will likely continue. 

One interesting facet of the cybersecurity field is trying to predict what future cybersecurity threats might look like and then develop tools and systems to protect against those threats.

As new technologies and services are developed and as more of the global population begins using Internet services for everything from healthcare to banking — new ways of protecting those services will be required. Often, it’s up to academic researchers to think ahead and examine various threats and opportunities to insulate against those threats.

Another key trend coming out of academic circles is that cybersecurity students are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary.

As cybersecurity hacks impact more parts of people’s everyday lives, so too do the academic programs that are designed to prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. This emerging trend creates an enormous amount of opportunity for students who have a variety of interests and who are looking to create a non-traditional career path.

The best cybersecurity PhD programs for 2024

Georgia institute of technology, northeastern university, marymount university, school of technology and innovation, nova southeastern university, college of computing & engineering, purdue university, stevens institute of technology, worcester polytechnic institute, university of illinois at urbana-champaign, mississippi state university, new york institute of technology.

These rankings were compiled from data accessed in November 2023 from the Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and College Navigator (both services National Center for Education Statistics). Tuition data was pulled from individual university websites and is current as of November 2023.

What is required to get a PhD in cybersecurity?

Good news first: Obtaining a PhD in a field related to cybersecurity will likely create tremendous employment opportunities and lead to interesting and dynamic career options.

Bad news: Getting a PhD requires a lot of investment of time and energy, and comes with a big opportunity cost (meaning you have to invest four to five years, or longer, or pursue other opportunities to obtain a doctoral degree. 

Here’s a quick breakdown of what is required to get a PhD in cybersecurity. Of course, specific degree requirements will vary by program. One growing trend in the field is that students can now obtain degrees in a variety of formats, including traditional on-campus programs, online degree programs , and hybrid graduate degree programs that combine both on-campus learning with online learning.

Cybersecurity is a relatively new formalized technology field, nonetheless, there are several ways that students or prospective PhD candidates can get involved or explore the field before and during a graduate school program. A few examples of ways to start networking and finding opportunities include: 

Join cybersecurity organizations with professional networks

Specialized professional organizations are a good place to find the latest in career advice and guidance. Often they publish newsletters or other kinds of information that provide insights into the emerging trends and issues facing cybersecurity professionals. A couple of examples include:

The Center for Internet Security  (CIS) is a non-profit dedicated to training cybersecurity professionals and fostering a sense of collaboration. The organization also publishes information and analysis of the latest cybersecurity threats and issues facing the professional community.

The SANS Institute runs several different kinds of courses for students (including certification programs) as well as ongoing professional cybersecurity education and training for people working in the field. The organization has several options including webinars, online training, and live in-person seminars. Additionally, SANS also publishes newsletters and maintains forums for cybersecurity professionals to interact and share information.

Leverage your social network

Places like LinkedIn and Twitter are good places to start to find news and information about what is happening in the field, who the main leaders and influencers are, and what kinds of jobs and opportunities are available.

Starting a professional network early is also a great opportunity. Often professionals and members of the industry are willing to provide guidance and help to students who are genuinely interested in the field and looking for career opportunities. 

Cybersecurity competitions 

Cybersecurity competitions are a great way to get hands-on experience working on real cybersecurity problems and issues. As a PhD student or prospective student, cybersecurity competitions that are sponsored by industry groups are a great way to meet other cybersecurity professionals while getting working on projects that will help flesh out a resume or become talking points in later job interviews.

The US Cyber Challenge , for example, is a series of competitions and hackathon-style events hosted by the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and the Center for Internet Security to prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

Internships

Internships also continue to be a tried and true way to gain professional experience. Internships in technical fields like cybersecurity can also pay well. Like the industry itself, cybersecurity internships are available across a wide range of industries and can range from academic research-oriented to more corporate kinds of work. 

Things to consider when choosing a cybersecurity PhD program

There are many considerations to evaluate when considering any kind of graduate degree, but proper planning is essential to be able to obtain a doctoral degree. It’s also important to note that these are just guidelines and that each graduate program will have specific requirements, so be sure to double-check.

What you will need before applying to a cybersecurity PhD program:

• All undergraduate and graduate transcripts
• A statement of intent, which is like a cover letter outlining interest
• Letters of reference
• Application fee
• Online application
• A resume or CV outlining professional and academic accomplishments

What does a cybersecurity PhD program cost?

Obtaining a PhD is a massive investment, both in terms of time and money. Cybersecurity PhD students are weighing the cost of becoming an expert in the field with the payoff of having interesting and potentially lucrative career opportunities on the other side.

Degree requirements are usually satisfied in 60-75 hours, so the cost of a doctoral degree can be well into the six-figure range. Here’s a more specific breakdown:

Tuition rates

The Cybersecurity Guide research team looked at 26 programs that offer a cybersecurity-related PhD degree. Here’s a breakdown of tuition rates (all figures are based on out-of-state tuition).

$17,580 is the most affordable PhD program option and it is available at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

$86,833 is the average cost of a cybersecurity PhD and is based on tuition rates from all 26 schools.

$197,820 is the most expensive cybersecurity PhD program and is available at Indiana University Bloomington.

The good news is that by the time students get to the PhD level there are a lot of funding options — including some graduate programs that are completely funded by the university or academic departments themselves.

Additionally, funding in the form of research grants and other kinds of scholarships is available for students interested in pursuing cybersecurity studies. 

One example is the CyberCorps: Scholarships for Service program. Administered by the National Science Foundation, PhD students studying cybersecurity are eligible for a $34,000 a year scholarship, along with a professional stipend of $6,000 to attend conferences in exchange for agreeing to work for a government agency in the cybersecurity space after the PhD program. 

Frequently asked questions about cybersecurity PhD programs

Most traditional and online cybersecurity graduate programs require a minimum number of credits that need to be completed to obtain a degree. On average, it takes 71 credits to graduate with a PhD in cybersecurity — far longer (almost double) than traditional master’s degree programs. In addition to coursework, most PhD students also have research and teaching responsibilities that can be simultaneously demanding and great career preparation.

At the core of a cybersecurity doctoral program is a data science doctoral program, you’ll be expected to learn many skills and also how to apply them across domains and disciplines. Core curriculums will vary from program to program, but almost all will have a core foundation of statistics.  

All PhD candidates will have to take a series of exams that act as checkpoints during the lengthy PhD process. The actual exam process and timing can vary depending on the university and the program, but the basic idea is that cybersecurity PhD candidates generally have to sit for a qualifying exam, which comes earlier in the program (usually the winter or spring of the second year of study), a preliminary exam, which a candidate takes to show they are ready to start the dissertation or research portion of the PhD program, and a final exam where PhD students present and defend their research and complete their degree requirements. 

A cybersecurity PhD dissertation is the capstone of a doctoral program. The dissertation is the name of a formal paper that presents the findings of original research that the PhD candidate conducted during the program under the guidance of faculty advisors. Some example cybersecurity research topics that could potentially be turned into dissertation ideas include: * Policies and best practices around passwords * Ways to defend against the rise of bots * Policies around encryption and privacy * Corporate responsibility for employee security * Internet advertising targeting and privacy * The new frontier of social engineering attacks * Operation security (OpSec) strategy and policy * Network infrastructure and defense * Cybersecurity law and policy * The vulnerabilities of biometrics * The role of ethical hacking * Cybersecurity forensics and enforcement

Charles Sprenger, Associate Professor of Economics and Strategic Management at the Rady School of Management, UC San Diego, will present a mini-course on "Behavioral Foundations and Experimental Evidence in Time and Risk" during his visit to Northwestern in May. Description: The mini-course will cover two core topics in behavioral analysis of individual decision-making: intertemporal and risky choice. In these two domains we will present standard neoclassical theories, examine plausible deviations therefrom, establish behavioral alternatives, and discuss experimental evidence for behavioral models. In decisions over time, focus will be placed on behavioral models of present-biased preferences. In decisions under uncertainty, focus will be placed on models such as prospect theory and rank-dependent utility. The empirical work discussed in this mini-course will come primarily from laboratory experiments, with discussion of field evidence and assessment of external validity where appropriate. The mini-course will have three sessions as follows:

• Lecture 1: "Behavioral Foundations in Intertemporal Choice: Laboratory and Field Elicitation of Time Preference" (Part 1) Monday, May 13th, 3:30-5:00pm in the Kellogg Global Hub, Room 4101
• Lecture 2: "Behavioral Foundations in Intertemporal Choice: Laboratory and Field Elicitation of Time Preferences" (Part 2) Tuesday, May 14th, 3:30-5:00pm in the Kellogg Global Hub, Room 4101
• Lecture 3: "Decisions Under Uncertainty: Behavioral Models and Recent Developments"

Tomasz Strzalecki, Professor of Economics at Harvard University, will present a mini-course on "Static and Dynamic Models of Stochastic Choice" during his visit to Northwestern in May. The mini-course will include three lectures on May 7th, 8th, and 10th. Detailed course description and suggested readings can be found here. --- Fuhito Kojima, Associate Professor of Economics at Stanford University, will present a mini-course on "Matching theory and market design: Theory and Applications" during his visit to Northwestern in October-November. Abstract: How to match people to other people or goods is an important problem in society. Just think of some examples such as (1) student placement in schools, (2) labor markets where workers and firms are matched, and (3) organ donation, in which patients are matched to potential donors.The economics of “matching and market design” has analyzed these problems and improved real-life institutions in recent years. In this lecture series, Kojima will briefly cover the basics of matching theory and then discuss some of the recent advances in matching theory and applications, partly based on his own research. The first lecture will be Tuesday, October 31st, 2017. 11:00am-12:00pm in Global Hub #2410A&B In the first lecture, Kojima will begin by giving a brief introduction to the theory of two-sided matching. We will see that there are mechanisms to find a desirable outcome in the sense of “stability,” but we will also find that there are a lot of impossibility theorems, rendering an off-the-shelf application of standard models to real world impossible. Partly to remedy this problem, Kojima will spend the remaining time by discussing the issue of “large matching markets.” It is also intended to provide some methodological point departing from classical matching theory in economics. The second lecture will be Thursday, November 2nd, 2017. 11:00am-12:00pm in Global Hub #2410A&B The second lecture continues the discussion of two-sided matching. Kojima will talk about a class of problems which he calls “matching with constraints.” Motivated by a number of market-design issues found in applications, we will study both existing mechanisms to cope with constraints as well as suggestions by researchers including Kojima. This part of the lecture is closely related to his theory seminar topic. The third lecture will be Friday, November 3rd, 2017. 9:30am-11:00am in Global Hub #2410A&B The last lecture will turn to another class of problems, which one could call “one-sided matching.” That’s a setting in which only one side of the problem are real players and the other side of the market are objects to be allocated. We will discuss theoretical and practical issues in this problem, drawing a lot on applications to school choice. Also, theoretical issues covered in the first two lectures, such as impossibility theorems, large markets, and constraints, present themselves in this setting as well. Reading: A classical textbook is “Two-Sided Matching” by Roth and Sotomayor (1990) from Cambridge University Press, and that will cover the basic theory. Kojima's recent survey paper, “Recent Developments in Matching Theory and its Practical Applications” to appear in "Advances in Economics and Econometrics: 11th World Congress", will cover much of the topics discussed in the rest of the lectures.

We periodically invite to campus distinguished scholars to give mini-courses on a topic of current interest. These mini-courses are open to all members of the Northwestern community as well as visitors from other Colleges and Universities. Vincent Crawford, Drummond Professor of Political Economy at the University of Oxford,will present a mini-course on “Level-k Thinking: Theory, Evidence, and Applications” during his visit to Northwestern in April. The first lecture will be Tuesday, April 18, 2017. 11:00am-12:30pm - Global Hub #2130. In the first lecture, Vince will review his work on mechanism design with k-level thinking in this lecture (reading 1 below).

There are two "teachers" in the Spring 2013 series: John List, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, and Álvaro José Riascos Villegas, Professor of Economics at Universidad de los Andes and Executive, Quantil. Álvaro J.R. Villegas's mini-course: Logic and Game Theory 3 lectures starting May 20 Description: There is a long tradition in mathematical logic (at least since Hintikka in the 1950s) of using games as a way of defining truth of mathematical sentences. This is an alternative approach to the classical compositional semantics definition of truth due to Tarski. Besides a few very preliminary research topics in which the author has been working we shall discuss informally the main ideas of this literature: the semantic game, the separation game and the model existence game in propositional, first order and IF logic. The idea is that by learning how logicians have used game theory for the advancement of mathematical logic, we can gain insights and learn some basic tools that may be useful for studying the logic and language of game theory. Monday, May 20 12:00-1:15 Jacobs G43 Slides Introduction to games in logic: (1) The semantic game in predicative, first order and IF logic. (2) The separation game in first order logic. (3).

Northwestern Pritzker Law Ranked Seventh Among Law Schools in Study Evaluating Return on Investment

Northwestern Pritzker School of Law has been ranked seventh in a Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce study evaluating the return on investment (ROI) of a law degree. The study evaluates law school employment outcomes, bar exam passage rates, and student loan debt, ranking 186 law schools based on median annual earnings net of debt payments. Northwestern Pritzker Law was one of only seven schools with median earnings net of debt above $200,000. For all law school graduates, median earnings net of debt are $72,000 four years after graduation.

“This recognition is a testament to Northwestern Pritzker Law’s extraordinary graduates and alumni, as well to our faculty, staff, and alumni who support them,” said Dean Hari Osofsky. “I am especially grateful to Associate Dean Donald Rebstock, Assistant Dean Dave Diamond, Director of Judicial Clerkships Janet Brown, Assistant Dean Leah Gould, and the Career Strategy Center and Public Interest Center teams for their wonderful work that makes such a difference.”

Northwestern Pritzker Law’s Career Strategy Center offers a variety of programs and counseling services, all of which are designed to help students develop sound career strategies and skills to build an effective framework for a lifetime of active career management. The Career Strategy Center also provides services to alumni looking to pursue a new career path, offering tools and connections to further a personally fulfilling and rewarding career at any stage.

Northwestern Pritzker Law reported an impressive 98.9% employment rate for the Class of 2023, the highest percentage to date. The Law School was also recently recognized as the top “ Go-To Law School ” in big law for 2024, with 65.2% of its 2023 graduates entering associate jobs at the nation’s largest 100 law firms.

The Law School’s Public Interest Center also offers a wide array of financial support opportunities for students and graduates interested in public interest careers, including generous public interest summer funding, summer fellowships, post-graduate fellowships, the Loan Repayment Assistance Program, and full-tuition scholarships.

Students who wish to pursue judicial clerkships also receive comprehensive advising and assistance with the application and interviewing process. Throughout the year, the Law School hosts educational programs, such as clerkship information sessions, alumni law clerk panels, and a variety of events that bring judges to campus to speak to and interact with students. The 2023-2024 term was the Law School’s best year to date for judicial clerkship placements, with an impressive 83 graduates clerking in 25 states and D.C. This exceeds last year—the Law School’s next best term—by more than 20%. These factors all combine to ensure that Northwestern Pritzker Law students see a strong return on investment no matter what career path they choose.

“The Career Strategy Center, Public Interest Center, and Director of Judicial Clerkships are fortunate to work with such strong students, alumni, staff, and faculty,” said David Diamond, Associate Dean, Career Strategy Center. “Employers know that hiring a Northwestern Pritzker Law graduate means adding to their team a highly intelligent, well-rounded, dedicated, and mature professional, which is reflected in our alumni’s accomplishments in the private and public sectors, industry, judiciary, and academia.”

Northwestern Undergraduate Premedical Scholars Program

The Northwestern Undergraduate Premedical Scholars Program (NUPSP) is an early MD acceptance program for high-achieving Northwestern undergraduate students who have completed two full years of undergraduate study with a demonstrated commitment to a career in medicine into Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. 

NUPSP is for students who have committed to Feinberg as their program of choice and requires a binding decision on the part of both the applicant and the medical school. Students must apply and are provisionally accepted during their third undergraduate year for matriculation into Feinberg after their fourth undergraduate year.  The program is not designed to be a fast-track to medical school. Transfer students may apply if they meet the listed requirements and coursework was conducted at a similarly rigorous program.

Each year, approximately 10-15 NUPSP students are offered early acceptance to Feinberg. The accepted student agrees to enter Feinberg in July or August of the calendar year after acceptance and, assuming all program provisions are met, Feinberg agrees to commit a seat to the applicant for that year.

NUPSP does not require program participants to take the MCAT Examination.
