02 / Overview
Train for the Fast-Growing World of Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing careers in the country and one of the most essential. Organizations ranging from hospitals, banks, schools and government agencies often rely on professionals who can defend their systems and data against digital threats. A degree in IT along with a concentration in cybersecurity builds foundational technical skills aligned with the current cybersecurity and IT landscape.
The numbers behind the demand are hard to ignore. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects information security analyst jobs to grow 29% from 2024 to 2034 which is many times the national average. The median annual wage is $124,910 (BLS, May 2024) and entry-level roles like Tier 1 SOC analyst or Cybersecurity Technician are some of the most accessible on-ramps into the field. Globally, the cybersecurity workforce gap is estimated at more than four million open roles and industry reports continue to show significant employer demand for cybersecurity professionals.
¹ When considering job growth and salary figures, keep in mind that real-world outcomes can differ based on a range of factors—such as years of experience, industry, location, individual skill and broader economic conditions. Cited projections are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data, not on Campus graduate outcomes, and do not guarantee actual salary or job growth.
