That\u2019s on the high end of the national average of between $10,000 and $20,000 for a two-year degree. \u00a0The cyber program promises to prepare students to work in IT support and security operations or transfer to one of the roughly 30 four-year colleges Campus partners with. Students will take a dedicated \u201cAI in Cybersecurity\u201d course that covers how AI has been reshaping threat detection, security operations, and incident response.&#8221;In cybersecurity, AI means that the threats are getting smarter and the demand for people who can meet them is growing,\u201d said Tade Oyerine, founder and chancellor of Campus. \u201cThis program is about giving young people a real on-ramp to a field that&#8217;s critically important and urgently needs AI-native talent.\u201dAccording to the\u00a02025 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, 95% of cybersecurity teams report at least one skills gap with professionals and cite skills deficits, not just headcount, as one of their most pressing challenges as AI rapidly reshapes both the nature of attacks and the expertise required to defend against them. It&#8217;s also important to note that in the United States alone, there are now 4.8 million unfilled cyber positions, so the need for people with these skills is real.Kevin Surace, chief executive officer at TokenCore, said affordable, career focused programs like Campus are essential because cybersecurity cannot solve its workforce problem by relying only on&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scworld.com\/news\/two-year-online-college-campus-now-offers-cybersecurity-track\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two-year online college \u2018Campus\u2019 now offers cybersecurity track | news https:\/\/www.scworld.com\/news\/two-year-online-college-campus-now-offers-cybersecurity-track Publish Date: 2026-07-09 15:52:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":287859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/files.cyberriskalliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/070926_ai_skills_career.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,24],"class_list":["post-287858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287858"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":287860,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287858\/revisions\/287860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
