<p>These two things are what I want to major in, and I would like to know which schools are the best for these two majors.</p>
<p>Or if you could tell me where to find this information, that would be appreciated as well. :)</p>
<p>P.S. Also, the best school for Industrial Design (other possible major).</p>
<p>collegeboard, do a major search =)</p>
<p>You should look into Carnegie Mellon -- top-ranked programs in computer engineering, business and industrial design.</p>
<p>Illinois, Wisconsin, Berk, Mich, Maryland</p>
<p>What about MIT? Ranked #1 in undergrad engineering, #2 in undergrad business. It's hard to do much better than that.</p>
<p>In the 1 in a hundred chance you get in.</p>
<p>Hey, the OP asked for the 'best school', not for the schools are easy to get into.</p>
<p>University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.</p>
<p>For both CE/CS AND Business.</p>
<p>Cornell ranks very high in both Computer Science and Business as well.</p>
<p>Also NYU, Penn, UNC Chapel Hill, USC, UT Austin, and Washington</p>
<p>Although no one has yet mentioned it, I'd recommend that you look for colleges/universities that are accredited by the American Board of Engineering Training (ABET) for computer science and computer engineering and by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for business. These are schools that have met or exceeded standards for education in both fields.</p>
<p>Here are some excellent resources to help you with your search:</p>
<p>The Try Engineering site has an excellent university search engine for ABET accredited programs in computer science, computer engineering, and many other engineering fields. I particularly like this search engine, because it gives you useful information about the admissions profile of enrolled students, size of the program, etc. The site has a wealth of other excellent information on engineering as well. <a href="http://www.tryengineering.org%5B/url%5D">www.tryengineering.org</a></p>
<p>An alternative is to search the ABET database at <a href="http://www.abet.org%5B/url%5D">www.abet.org</a>, but the above is a little more user friendly.</p>
<p>For business, here's the link to the list of accredited members of the AACSB:
<a href="http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/accreditedmembers.asp%5B/url%5D">http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/accreditedmembers.asp</a></p>
<p>Finally, anyone interested in science. math or engineering can find excellent information and resources at the Sloan Career Cornerstones site:

<p>I have many other useful resources on my blog - just click on my user name to find the link. Good luck with your college search!</p>
<p>Well, I happen to think that accreditation is fairly overrated when it comes to computer science. You don't need to be accredited to work in computer science, and as a result, some top programs don't bother to accredit themselves. </p>
<p>To give you a stellar example, Stanford is not accredited in either Computer Science or Computer Engineering. It is accredited in EE, but nothing CS or CompE. But I think we can all agree that Stanford is one of the world's elite schools in computer science. Similarly, Caltech is also not accredited in CS or CompE. Nor is the UCBerkeley computer science Bachelor of Arts program is unaccredited. The Berkeley Bachelor of Science program is accredited, but not the BA program. Yet I think nobody disputes that these are also among the very top programs in which to study computer science. </p>
<p>In contrast, there are plenty of no-name low-tier schools that offer accredited programs. But honestly, how many people are going to prefer them over Berkeley, Stanford, or Caltech?</p>
<p>carolyn - I believe that the college stats (50% SAT/ACT score range, etc.) on Try Engineering are just those basic stats that you'd find from collegeboard. When I first saw those from collegeboard I got my hopes up, but then I realized that those scores are for everyone that got in, and not just those in engineering. What I'm getting at is that it factors in those that have much lower scores and came in undeclared/or went into a different major, while you can expect those that are majoring in engineering to have scores WELL above that range. To me, it seems to almost be a moot point to look at those ranges if you're looking into a competetive major like engineering (So I just see them as BARE minimums).</p>
<p>ABET-accreditation is a double edged sword.</p>
