<p>Does anyone happen to have a list of the top CS schools in the Northeast region of the US?</p>
<p>I can give you some of the most selective ones, but I’m not sure that necessarily makes them the best.</p>
<p>Albany (SUNY)
Binghamton (SUNY)
Brandeis
Brown
Bucknell
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
Dartmouth
Dickinson
Harvard
Lafayette
Lehigh
University of Maryland
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Penn State
Princeton
Stevens Institute of Technology
Vassar
The College of William and Mary
Williams</p>
<p>IMO, these are some of the best CS programs in the Northeast (not listed in any particular order):</p>
<p>MIT
CMU
Cornell
Princeton
Harvard
Brown
Yale
Columbia
Rensselaer
University of Maryland - College Park
NYU
SUNY-Stony Brook
Dartmouth
Rutgers
U Mass - Amherst</p>
<p>Bump…</p>
<p>Just want to see if there are any others schools missed. By the way, thanks for all the responses</p>
<p>CMU is not quite “Northeastern”. Pittsburgh is more Midwestern than Northeastern. Otherwise, worried_mom is spot-on.</p>
<p>The best are in the northeast:</p>
<p>Ivy League
MIT
Boston College
Boston University
Northeastern
NYU
Fordham
Rutgers
UConn
U Mass - Amherst
Villanova
Pittsburgh (still northeast? not sure what to consider Pittsburgh)
Penn State (same)</p>
<p>Note: Not including LACs.</p>
<p>^ If you’re including Pittsburgh, then Carnegie Mellon for sure in the top few. However that depends if you consider that northeast.</p>
<p>As far as I know, there are no reliable rankings specifically for undergraduate programs.
These in order are the top-ranked CS graduate departments in the Northeast (i.e. New England and Mid-Atlantic states) according to USNWR:</p>
<p>MIT, Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
Princeton
Maryland
Columbia,Harvard,Penn
Brown
UMass-Amherst
Yale
JHU
NYU
Rutgers
Dartmouth
SUNY-Stony Brook
Boston U.
Rochester</p>
<p>^That list misses out on better programs for undergrads.</p>
<p>Maybe. But by what standard do you think BC, Fordham or Villanova (which are on your list) have better programs than Maryland (which is on the USNWR list)?</p>
<p>Many schools (including many not on either of these lists) can provide good technical training in CS. I think the most important differences (beyond the tippy top several schools anyway) are in the liberal arts and science programs that can teach you to frame problems and communicate. BC etc. may have an edge there. LACs nobody has mentioned may have an even bigger one.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies…</p>
<p>Btw, what are LAC’s???</p>
<p>I heard good things about computer science at RIT.</p>
