Why Cybersecurity

The Rarest Skill in the Room

The most valuable person in the room knows how to build and break things. Organizations don't just need people who can monitor systems. They need engineers who understand how software is built and how it fails under attack. That combination of production engineering experience and security depth is rare and increasingly essential. Graduates pursue security engineering roles with average salaries ranging from $110,000 to $145,000.

Security Engineer

$118,000 avg. salary

Designs and implements secure systems from the ground up, embedding security requirements into architecture and code rather than bolting them on after the fact.

Penetration Tester

$112,000 avg. salary

Simulates real-world attacks against production systems, identifies exploitable vulnerabilities, and translates findings into concrete remediation plans.

Detection Engineer

$115,000 avg. salary

Builds the monitoring systems, alerting logic, and threat detection workflows that identify and contain security incidents before they become breaches.

Five Programs. One Discipline.

Clarke's cybersecurity programs span every credential level and every starting point, from high school through graduate study. Some are built for people entering the field for the first time. Others are designed for working engineers ready to specialize. All of them are built around real work, real curriculum, and outcomes that matter.

Bachelor of Science

Computer Science

Cybersecurity Concentration

A three-year undergraduate degree built around software engineering and cybersecurity. You will develop the technical foundation to work across the field, with a concentration that goes deep into security engineering, threat detection, and offensive and defensive security techniques. This is the complete path for students who want a degree and the depth that comes with it. The work-integrated model means you graduate with real experience and no debt.

Master of Science

Computer Science

Cybersecurity

An advanced degree for students who already have a technical foundation and want to go deep in cybersecurity. Over two years, you will cover security architecture, threat detection, offensive security, and the engineering practices that define serious security work at a graduate level, with a curriculum designed to be applied in real work from the start.
‍
The program is available with or without an apprenticeship. If you are working in a technical role, you can apply what you are learning directly in your current job. If you want to pair the degree with a new opportunity, the apprenticeship track offsets tuition while you earn your degree.

Work-Integrated Career Pathway

Cyber Engineering Immersive

In 18 months, build a career at the intersection of software engineering and cybersecurity. You'll train full-time, earn while you learn, and graduate with real paid experience already on your resume.

The program is structured into three phases. You'll start with the fundamentals of software development, move into security engineering, and conclude with a capstone. Your apprenticeship runs alongside your coursework and fully offsets the cost of the program.

Accelerated Cyber Engineering Immersive

Already a software engineer? Build on the engineering foundation you already have rather than starting from scratch. This 14-month program puts you in a paid apprenticeship while you build production-ready security engineering skills. You will go deep in cybersecurity, including threat detection, penetration testing, security architecture, and incident response.

The apprenticeship begins in week one alongside your coursework, and the earnings more than cover the cost of the program.

Professional Certificate

Cybersecurity Certificate

A focused, rigorous path through threat detection, security architecture, penetration testing, and incident response. You will work on real security scenarios, build hands-on experience across offensive and defensive techniques, and finish with an industry-ready portfolio and professional certificate in Cybersecurity. Available full-time or part-time, so you can build serious security engineering skills as fast as possible or around your current commitments.
