EUGENE, Ore., July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- College Choice, a leading authority in college and university rankings and resources, has recently released a ranking of the 50 Best Master's in Computer Science Degree Programs.
(http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/best-schools-for-a-masters-in-computer-science-degree/)
The fifty programs that make up this ranking vary in their aspects of computer science, with some programs focusing on the theoretical and research nature of the field, while others focus on building a strong foundation in applied science. Many of the programs listed in the ranking also give students the choice between picking a research or professional track, which will change the way a student continues their education.
"Having a graduate degree in computer science will certainly give individuals the chance for better career opportunities. It is also not too drastic to say studying in the field of computer science may give individuals the opportunity to change the future of our world: possibly solving global problems or inventing new ways of interacting with one another and impacting international systems and processes," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking.
The College Choice 2016 Ranking of the Best Master's in Computer Science Degree Programs ranked colleges based on a school's cost of tuition, the average salary of recent graduates, and the school's overall academic reputation. This information was gathered using the school's website and well-respected statistics and ranking websites to ensure accurate and current information.
