This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.

A Great Overall School

The overall quality of a bachelor's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major.

  • Major Focus - How much a school focuses on computer science students vs. other majors.
  • Major Demand - How many other computer science students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
