This degree is certainly not for everyone as the cost will be above what most on the forum are willing to pay, but it is always encouraging seeing top universities invest in distance learning. https://pratt.duke.edu/about/news/duke-launches-masters-program-cybersecurity
Unless I am reading wrong, but $87,264.00 does not worth the money. I have been working in IT for 19 years, and 10 years in Cybersecurity alone. The CISSP is the mother of everything in Cybersecurity/Information Security; it worth more than a Master in Cybersecurity or Information Security. The best IT degree is Computer Science or the University of Pennsylvania's Coursera Master.
I am familiar with the Cybersecurity industry to be honest. I will say that the MCIT from UPenn through Coursera is interesting. I had looked at it but I prefer an educational experience that draws from the professors expertise instead of a course they are thrown into that is designed by a 3rd party such as Coursera and EdX.
Glad to see more online programs from top schools... I hope they'll reduce their online program tuition.
I agree the tuition cost can be high. However, I think it is due to the time investment of the faculty teaching the courses too. They develop each online course themselves whereas, for example, the UPenn MCIT is offered through Coursera where the faculty members teach a cookie cutter type course.
