After successfully completing a bootcamp, you’ll receive an official Certificate in Cybersecurity or Software Engineering from Gonzaga University and verification of continuing education credits.

All you need to get started with our 100% online bootcamps is an internet connection!

While most students spend 15-20 hours a week, our programs are designed to be completed on your own schedule. Due to the asynchronous nature of the programs, you can finish faster than average if you desire, while still getting the continued aid and support of our teams.

We know that you may have difficult questions about which program to choose. Our team of enrollment advisors will help guide your decision and find the right fit for what’s best suited not just now, but long-term as well.

A great way to get more information is by filling out an application for any one of our available programs. We will schedule a call regarding whether you are a good match for the selected program and also help you find if there is a better program for your personal career goals.

Gonzaga partners with Springboard, an industry-driven education company that prepares learners for high-growth careers, to offer the Cybersecurity and Software Engineering bootcamps. These courses are designed and taught by Springboard, and the curriculum has been vetted and approved by Gonzaga University School of Engineering and Applied Science.

It takes time and effort to become a cybersecurity professional, but our courses are designed to be completed on your own schedule. While the course length will vary depending on each student’s pacing, most students finish the course and are job-ready after 6 months of working ~10-15 hours per week.

Spots are limited and we accept candidates on a rolling basis. We have a multi-step application process:

1. Interview via phone with an Enrollment Advisor

If your application meets our criteria, we will reach out by phone for a fit interview. This call will come from either a local area code or 509 area code number and is required to gain provisional acceptance into the program

2. Complete the technical skills survey

In addition to your phone interview, you are required to complete a brief knowledge gap survey before the program begins – most applicants can complete it in roughly half an hour. This survey will be sent via email and you should plan to complete it within 24 hours.

3. Reserve your seat

If you are accepted into our program, you will be sent a link via email to register. Please fill out the required information within 24 hours. You can choose a start date, payment plan, and fill out your student profile. Once your enrollment is complete, you will be eligible for mentor matching.

We offer three payment options. Explore detailed payment options on the cybersecurity bootcamp page, or speak to an enrollment advisor to learn more.

Upfront payment: You pay a discounted total payment upfront.

Month to month: Pay in four payments while in the program.

Financing Options: If you are unable to pay for your education costs up front, financing through a private lending source may be a good option.  Certificate programs do not qualify for federal loans.

Gonzaga University and Springboard, the bootcamp program provider, will process loans from any eligible lender you select. Things you should consider in your lender search are what the lender offers regarding current interest rates, repayment options, service fees and other details that may be important to you. You might also want to research loan options offered by your personal bank or other private lenders.  

To learn about lenders who have supported Gonzaga students in the past, a list is available at elmselect.com. 

Bootcamp students have also used Climb Credit for financing the program.  Students who choose to finance through Climb Credit: 

• Pay a deposit at the time of enrollment.

• Make payments for a duration of 24 - 42 months depending on loan type.

• 0% APR options may be available to those who qualify. 

• Please note: lending might not be available in all 50 states - click here for the current full lending list.

Gonzaga does not recommend, prefer, or endorse any specific lender and encourages that you research and compare all potential certificate program lenders and choose the lender that works best for you.

Our goal is to help you find a job within six months of graduation. The final module of the course will help prepare you by focusing on career components, such as successful job search strategies, building your network, crafting a resume tailored to cybersecurity, and building your LinkedIn profile. Your career coach will also work 1:1 with you for up to 6 months after graduation to practice mock technical and behavioral interviews, debrief after actual job interviews, and help you negotiate your salary.

All backgrounds are welcome in the Cybersecurity Bootcamp as long as you can demonstrate strong analytical skills. To ensure a successful course experience, we require that all students are at least 18 years old and strongly proficient in English. You’ll need to pass a technical skills survey centered around communication and an analytical mindset.
