Computer science is far and beyond the most lucrative degree in the country — if you attend the right school.
Deciding among the top universities is tougher than ever, with many schools building out their tech programs in recent years. QS World University Rankings crunched the numbers to make the choice clearer.
QS’s annual ranking highlights the best universities in the world for studying computer science and information systems, using data based on academic reputation (measured by a global survey that asked academics to identify the institutions where they believe the best work is currently taking place within their field of expertise) and citations per faculty.
“Generally, the more often a piece of research is cited by others, the more influential it is,” QS notes.
