EC-Council University (ECCU) is the academic extension of the EC-Council Group, offering structured, degree-level education in cyber security while embedding EC-Council's globally recognized certifications directly into its curriculum. Based in the United States and delivered entirely online, ECCU is designed for working professionals who want to combine an accredited academic credential with hands-on, industry-recognized cyber security expertise.
ECCU is accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), a nationally recognized accrediting agency listed by the U.S. Department of Education and acknowledged by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Its self-paced, asynchronous programs give students 24/7 access to interactive virtual labs and course materials, and select EC-Council certifications - such as CEH and CHFI - can be applied toward transfer credit. Flagship programs include the Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security (BSCS) and the Master of Science in Cyber Security (MSCS), the latter offered with multiple specialization tracks.
