New Hampshire colleges that awarded Cybersecurity credentials

Colleges and what they awarded
Largest first by credentials conferred in 2024-25. That order measures the size of the graduating class and nothing else: it is not a ranking, and the largest entry is often a certificate provider rather than the strongest degree program. The credential is labelled on every row for exactly that reason.
| College | Credentials awarded | Highest level |
|---|---|---|
| Southern New Hampshire University | 1,675 | Degree |
| New England College | 45 | Degree |
| Nashua Community College | 8 | Degree |
| Keene State College | 6 | Degree |
| University of New Hampshire at Manchester | 6 | Degree |
| Great Bay Community College | 5 | Degree |
| NHTI-Concord's Community College | 3 | Degree |
| Rivier University | 3 | Degree |
| River Valley Community College | 1 | Degree |

New Hampshire colleges conferred 1,752 Cybersecurity credentials in 2024-25, which is 3.7% of the 46,851 conferred across the 51 U.S. jurisdictions reporting any. Of the 9 colleges here, every one awarded a degree. These counts measure the size of graduating classes, not program quality, and not how many students are currently enrolled.
What level those credentials were
- Certificates: 8%, 141 credentials.
- Associate: 21%, 365 credentials.
- Bachelor's: 56%, 980 credentials.
- Graduate: 15%, 266 credentials.
Most Cybersecurity credentials awarded in New Hampshire were bachelor's degrees. That is 25 percentage points more weighted toward bachelor's degrees than the field nationally, where they are 31% of credentials. A certificate is a different credential from a degree, not a lesser one, and the level a program awards is set by the program rather than by the student.
We measured how much this varies nationwide, and for most fields the credential level is set by the field rather than the state: is your major a certificate or a degree?
How concentrated it is. The single college with the largest reported graduating class in this field accounted for 96% of New Hampshire’s Cybersecurity credentials. Most of the state’s activity in this field sits at one institution, which is worth knowing if it is not somewhere you can attend.
What these New Hampshire colleges cost
Median net price across the 8 of these 9 colleges that report it, by family income. Net price is what students receiving federal aid actually paid for the WHOLE college after grants and scholarships, so it is not the price of a Cybersecurity program specifically, and not a quote for any family.

What this evidence does and does not prove
This lists colleges that reported conferring credentials in this field to the federal IPEDS completions collection, in both 2023-24 and 2024-25. It does not confirm that any of them is currently admitting students to the program, and a college can appear here after deciding to close it. Confirm with the institution before it affects where you apply.
How this list was built
From the U.S. Department of Education IPEDS completions collection, matched to each college on its exact federal program classification. A college appears only if it conferred credentials in both 2023-24 and 2024-25, which is what separates a running program from one that has already closed.
This page exists because its list of colleges is materially different from that of every closely related field in New Hampshire — the fields a reader could otherwise mistake it for, such as two engineering disciplines, or nursing and practical nursing. Where a related field resolves to the same colleges, the second page would be the first one with its title changed, and CampusPin does not publish it. Sharing colleges with an unrelated field is different, and not a reason to withhold the page: in most states the same colleges award business, psychology and biology alike, which says something about the colleges rather than about the fields. We measured exactly how often that happens, and published the result: does choosing a major narrow your college list?
What Cybersecurity graduates go on to do
Occupations the federal CIP–SOC crosswalk associates with Cybersecurity, ordered by projected annual openings. National figures: openings and pay do not vary by where you studied, and the crosswalk describes related fields rather than a required or guaranteed path.

Questions about Cybersecurity in New Hampshire
- How many colleges in New Hampshire awarded Cybersecurity credentials?
- 9 colleges in New Hampshire reported conferring Cybersecurity credentials to the federal IPEDS completions collection in 2024-25, 9 of them a degree rather than only a certificate. Together they awarded 1,752 credentials in the fields covered.
- Does this mean these colleges currently offer Cybersecurity?
- Not necessarily. Completions record credentials already awarded, so they confirm a program ran and graduated students. They do not confirm it is still admitting. Every college here also awarded in the prior year, which makes a closed program less likely, but confirm directly with the institution before it affects where you apply.
- Is a college missing from this list?
- Possibly. A new program with no graduates yet does not appear, and CampusPin matches the federal classification exactly rather than guessing, so a college filing under a neighbouring code is absent. Absence is never evidence a program does not exist.
