flag NC State ends a criticized $17,800 cybersecurity boot camp after students say they were misled on jobs and credentials.

flag A nine-month cybersecurity boot camp at NC State University, priced at $17,800 and run by third-party providers, has drawn criticism from students who say they were misled by promises of job placement, certifications, and career support. flag Participants reported outdated content, unresponsive instructors, frequent staff changes, and no real credential value from their completion "badge." flag Despite NC State’s oversight, the university will discontinue the program in 2027 due to a shift toward asynchronous learning, leaving current students without promised outcomes. flag The case raises concerns about the quality and accountability of university-affiliated online education programs.
