[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the rankings from CSrankings.  How accurate are they for UMD?  According to this, UMD has a top 10 department. I know it is hard to get into and just looking for real world people.  Nothing against US News, Forbes etc.  Something like Computer Science is so different than sociology.

CS prof here. CSranking is strictly about faculty' s research output in particular conferences/journals, not at all related to education quality. In this metric, this ranking is very accurate for UMD. UMD has been a top-10 CS research department and graduate program. All the CS faculty is internationally well known.

[b]what would you use for education quality then.

UMD has been near the top of this list for a while [/quote]

+1. Where can we get rankings of education quality for CS undergraduates?[/quote]

The closest I can find is measuring the graduates - CodeSignal; https://codesignal.com/university-ranking/2025

The typical comment against the ranking is the sample size is not that large. Merge the results with CSRankings and Throw in percentage of grads employed.  This will give you a good/great school.

Just don't use that USNWR thing - it just looks too suspect.

Unless I missed it, UMD doesn’t even make the CodeSignal list.[/quote]
