You use AI as a tutor from the first lesson, then study AI as a security topic: how attackers use it, how defenders use it, and how to use it safely.
Nearly every lesson opens with ready-made prompts to learn the topic with Claude or ChatGPT before you touch the lab.
In Module 7 you script with AI, review every line before it runs, and learn the red lines you never cross.
Deepfake fraud and AI phishing, how defenders use AI, machine learning for anomaly detection, and how ML detection is evaded and defended.
Every capstone includes a log of 6+ AI prompts with your own analysis. The GRC path also writes an AI tool-use policy.
“You own that code.”

Talk to AdmissionsSee all FAQsCybersecurity involves protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks, unauthorized access, or damage. With increasing reliance on technology, and on AI, it’s vital for both individuals and organizations.
Cybersecurity offers roles such as cybersecurity analyst, penetration tester, network security engineer, and information security manager. The median pay for information security analysts was $129,180 in May 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Opportunities span tech, finance, healthcare, and government.
It can be challenging, but the program starts from computer basics: you build your own virtual lab in Module 1 and learn networking before any attack or defense work, so motivated beginners can keep up.
It’s a 6-month, part-time program: pre-work plus 12 modules, from IT and networking fundamentals through SIEM, Active Directory, scripting, cloud, web app security, ethical hacking and GRC, ending in a capstone. Every lesson is mapped to a CompTIA Security+ exam domain.
Yes. The program is a pathway to CompTIA Security+, the industry-standard certification for cybersecurity roles. Every lesson maps to a Security+ exam domain, and you’ll be coached to pass it.
You use AI as a tutor from the first lesson, with ready-made learning prompts. In Module 7 you learn AI-assisted scripting (with strict review rules) and machine learning for anomaly detection, and you study how attackers and defenders use AI. Every capstone includes an AI prompt log.
It’s part-time. Live sessions take place Monday through Thursday, from 5:30–9:30 PM CT, with real-time instruction, collaboration, and live feedback. Sessions are recorded, and the rest of the work fits around your schedule.
