Quality Comp Sci Programs in Wash. D.C. - bluebooger - 04-25-2017

sanantone Wrote:Not better than University of Maryland College Park. None of the schools are ranked in computer science. Overall, College Park is ranked the highest. Howard University and The Catholic University of America are ranked the second highest.

If you want a ranked computer science program, then you can see if you can get into Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland - Baltimore County.

where are you getting your rankings ?

I see Johns Hopkins listed here
Best Bachelor's in Computer Science for 2016

but not here

My issue is my company will only pay for the program if I can attend it will being able to work at the Office (attending it would mean part-time). I go to the office when I do not have class.

Hopkins and Maryland BC are likely too far to commute. The office is located in D.C. I suppose I could try to live at their midpoint, but that may be tough.

Overall, would you say University of Maryland College Park is not a good school for Computer Science?

It's an overall good school, so any program there should be decent. I doubt they have any programs that are outright horrible.

The was a much simpler way to find their ranking on U.S. News. Their graduate program in computer science is ranked #28.

The University of Maryland is highly known and is one of the best in the country.

George Mason In Virginia

Georgetown

George Washington University


John Hopkins

all of these schools will have good programs. There are a huge number of schools in the DC area. but yes UMD has a big rep here especially their engineering department. People know it is a good school.
