Hello guys, I'm super interested in the Computer Science program at University of Michigan. I wanted to get some clarity on how the program ranks nationally and internationally. Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The University of Michigan's Computer Science program is highly regarded both nationally and internationally. While it's always important to consider how programs are assessed and what factors lead to their rankings, University of Michigan consistently ranks in top positions for its CS program.
In U.S. News & World Report's 2021 rankings, University of Michigan's Computer Science undergraduate program ranked #11 nationally. For U.S. grad schools, it was ranked #5.
QS World University Rankings, an international ranking organization, placed University of Michigan in the #15 spot worldwide for Computer Science in its 2021 reports.
Additionally, Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) placed it at #6 globally for Computer Science in 2021.
That said, keep in mind that while rankings do provide a way to gauge the overall quality of a program, they should by no means be the only factor in your decision. Consider things like the curriculum, faculty, research opportunities, the campus culture, and alumni outcomes too when assessing if a program is a fit for you.
