status: enrolling · checked 2026-10-08

Course Report lists the 15-week cybersecurity bootcamp as active with cohorts every 5 weeks on 2026-10-08; Nucamp's program page is JavaScript-rendered and returned only navigation to automated fetches, so its own tuition figure was not readable. source

Nucamp's cyber course is a roughly $2,100, 15-week part-time program with weekly live workshops, launched in early 2024. It suits people who want structure and a cohort without a five-figure bill. Before enrolling, read the single cyber-specific review on Course Report and ask Nucamp for cyber graduate numbers, since the 78% figure covers its coding programs.
