This is obviously a very different list than you'd get from most US News rankings. The Military Times is, as the name suggest, a magazine that is widely read among military personnel.  Cybersecurity is a new, and specific enough field, such that the overall school ranking may not be as important.[/quote]

Any list that has UMUC on it is immediately suspect.[/quote]

UMUC has a very strong cyber security, programing and IT/business classes online/military.  (though many of the classes are not that great as my husband took some and thought they were terrible).  They are catering to older folks, working and active duty.[/quote]

I've interviewed quite a few people with UMUC CS degrees; it's a worthless program.  I don't even bother with resumes from there anymore as it's just a waste of my time.[/quote]

Which schools do you think are good for CS?[/quote]

Locally UMDCP and UMBC are both very good, although UMDCP is definitely better. I've gotten some good folks from Towson as well.  CMU, MIT, Georgia Tech, UIUC, Stanford; I've interviewed and worked with folks from all of these schools and have been very impressed.

The top students at most flagship state schools are generally excellent as well, even if the school isn't known for CS.[/quote]

Not GMU?  I thought they had a strong computer department.[/quote]
