Out of the 1 schools in the Most Well Attended Other Computer Programming Major in Massachusetts for a Master’s that were part of this year’s ranking, Brandeis University landed the #1 spot on the list. Brandeis is a medium-sized private not-for-profit school situated in Waltham, Massachusetts. It awarded 6 masters’s other computer programming degrees in 2020-2021.
The school has an excellent freshman retention rate of 90%, which means students like the school well enough to return for a second year. The low undergrad student loan default rate of 1.2% is a good sign that students have an easier time paying off their loans than they might at other schools. For comparison, the national default rate is 10.1%. Since the school has a undergrad student-to-faculty ratio of 10 to 1, those pursuing a degree will have more opportunities to interact with their professors.
