MS "Cybersecurity" Programs?

Georgia Tech has a very highly rated MS in CS for $10K but it only admits 10% of applicants. https://www.cc.gatech.edu/future/masters/mscs I haven't read the previous posts in this thread so it may have been mentioned.

Edit: Whoops - just realized the thread we're in. You wanted Cybersecurity, not Computer Science. Sorry.

Edit 2: GA Tech also has an MS in Cybersecurity for around $10K. I don't know much about it though. https://pe.gatech.edu/degrees/cybersecurity

 

The master’s in cybersecurity degree has been divided into a set of core courses that provide the necessary skills in cybersecurity, organizational behavior, and structure, research, and writing. The program then offers various specializations to allow students to select specific fields of study that they are passionate about, each having well-defined job prospects, derived from the NICE framework, affiliated with them.

The Master of Science in Cyber Security Program is offered 100% online, allowing students to complete coursework in a timeframe that fits their schedule. This also requires that the student has the appropriate technology and connectivity to sustain constant participation in class activities.

 

Just a side note SANS is the top in this game I feel, the amount and breadth of the study materials is no joke, top-shelf difficulty. If you get a SANS graduate, they've done so many trial-by-fire at that point you can toss them anything and enough time they'll get it fixed. Not cheap and there is no chance of speed-running the degree work, no matter how astute you are or how many certs under the belt. The coursework materials are THICCC, people doing SANS have posted the pictures of the thickness of the books on instagram. Thicker than English back-bacon before cooking it.

 

One of the trends on YouTube now is that many cyber security are not proficient enough in programming. I can understand that, I know a few people who are well-seasoned in networking and subsequently cyber security, and they are definitely not programmers. I can under the need though, especially when dealing with particularly nasty malware, and the only way through it to reverse-engineer the count-down timer.

I feel now that if universities and colleges wish to have a program they will find a way. One of the somewhat backhanded things these days is buying the content then rebadging it as that school's intellectual property. Legally it is, they paid for it, but somehow to me it seems like they're using a cheat code instead of creating original content. This also happens in AI programs, which are also ubiquitous.
