What Can You Do With a Cybersecurity Degree?
Protect networks, systems, and data from attacks and respond when incidents happen. We track 1 career that a Cybersecurity degree commonly leads to, with median pay around $120,360.
How these numbers work: A major does not have its own salary. The pay above comes from the 1 career below that a Cybersecurity degree commonly leads to, using each one's national median wage from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Entry-level roles sit toward the bottom of that range and advanced or graduate-level roles toward the top, so where you land depends on the specific career and any further education.
