The rankings released on the web and to media today are based on a
survey of deans and department chairs at CS programs around the
country. For a complete listing of CS program rankings and extensive
specialty rankings, visit the U.S. News web site here.
All new and old rankings will be available in U.S. News’ “Best Graduate
Schools” guidebook, which will hit newsstands next week.
In addition to the Artificial Intelligence (#7) and Systems (#10)
rankings, the College’s Theory specialty held its No. 9 ranking (last
year the program leaped from 16th to 9th). There were no rankings
issued again this year for Graphics/Visualization, which received a 4th
place ranking in 1999, or in Databases, which ranked 7th in 1999.
In the past decade, the College of Computing’s overall graduate
Computer Science program has risen consistently in the U.S. News
ratings:
The College’s reputation continues to grow and improve through its
outstanding research, creative approaches to educational programs,
world-class faculty, and richly diverse student body. By fostering
leadership, collaboration and innovation, the College hopes to build
its esteem and prominence across the board.
“This is a big deal. I could not be more proud of the effort I see
from everyone with the College of Computing,” said Dean Rich DeMillo.
“Once you reach the upper end of the rankings, it’s very difficult to
make significant jumps. That we were able to jump not one but two
spots—and into the Top 10—speaks volumes of the work we are doing and
the impact it is making, not just in higher education and computing,
but in the larger world beyond.”
