Computer Science program for University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC) not ranked on CollegeVine?

Why is the Computer Science program at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC) not ranked on CollegeVine?

Elsewhere on the web (e.g., US News) it seems to have a very high ranking.

Thanks,

It appears that you are right! Our list of the best colleges for computer science does not have UIUC on it. This is either a tech issue or a difference between the ranking guidelines of US News and CollegeVine. I will check in with the CollegeVine team to find out for you!

True -- there is clearly a big ranking difference between CollegeVine and something like US News.

I see Pre-Med and Comp Sci rankings missing for several universities (USF Tampa, Oberlin, Loyola Univ Chicago etc). I simply assumed that these programs scored too low to even get a rank on CollegeVine. Though I cannot imagine how Oberlin scores too poorly to be even ranked.

Thanks for following up, @AlexanderOddo

I have an answer from the CollegeVine team for you! The rankings were created a couple years ago, so there are some outdated results. This also explains why some of the other universities you mentioned are missing from our rankings. We have it on our radar to update them, and UIUC is indeed a top CS program that we are planning to add in. Hope this helps!
