The 2024-2025 rankings tout undergraduate computer science at The University of Texas at Austin as among the ten best nationally.
The UT Computer Science undergraduate program is recognized as a top 10 program in the nation, as well as No. 6 among public schools and the best in Texas, according to the latest U.S. News & World Report undergraduate rankings out today.
UT Computer Science ranks No. 10 nationally, tied with the California Institute of Technology and the University of Michigan. Three specialties at UT Computer Science also rank in the top ten, with Software Engineering coming in 7th, Cybersecurity ranked 8th, and Computer Systems ranked 10th. Another three ranked in the top 15, with Programming Languages and Artificial Intelligence both ranked 12th and Theory ranked 14th.
UT has risen two spots to No. 7 among public universities and remains the No. 1 public university in Texas. UT rose to No. 30 overall, among both public and private universities.
“As I remarked in my State of the University address last week, this is an extraordinary time for The University of Texas, in part because of our breadth and depth,” said UT President Jay Hartzell. “We use our strengths to prepare adaptable, skilled students, and to collaborate on solutions to society’s biggest challenges. The opportunities we offer students and the extraordinary talent among our faculty are reflected in top 10 rankings across 26 undergraduate programs. Given all of this, it is no surprise that demand to be a Longhorn is at an all-time high.”
UT continues to be the best university in Texas for veterans and rose to No. 14 nationally. Additionally, the University ranked No. 1 in Texas and No. 19 nationally for being the most innovative, and it ranked No. 4 for study abroad among public universities.
In all, 26 UT undergraduate programs landed in the top 10 in this year’s ranking, bringing the number of undergraduate and graduate programs presently ranked in the top 10 to 76.
The U.S. News ranking is one of the most widely referenced measurements of undergraduate programs nationally and is based on several key measures, such as graduation rates and student outcomes, faculty resources, expert opinions, financial resources, and student excellence.
