Best Software Engineering Schools

I want to go into software engineering. My grades, test scores, and extracurricular activities are good enough for me to have a chance at MIT, but for the chance I can’t get into the ivy leagues, I want to look for other options. So far I have heard good things about Georgia Tech, but other than that I don’t know.

Money is not an issue at this point.

The west coast is a little to far for me but anything else is fine.

Software engineering is my major, so list those good ones first. But if a school has graphic design/game dev, computer engineering and more, that would be a plus in my application.

Actual “software engineering” majors are uncommon. CS is a more common college major for those with that job title.

Lots of schools have good CS departments, including less selective ones like UMass Amherst and Stony Brook. Start your list with affordable safeties that you like.
