Top Universities in Computer Sciences 2017

1.   Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

MIT has been on top of all other universities in Information Technology for many years. It is also among world’s top 3 universities in general. MIT is an institute where every Computer Science’s student dreams to go. They have the best research labs of IT. Their IT staff and teachers are considered world’s best in their field.

They are inventing new innovative technologies every day. Once in 2014 they actually had open hacking challenge competition. MIT students are easily hired by any organization. You can their students in every top world IT organization including Facebook, Twitter, yahoo, Microsoft, IBM etc. Here is a link of MIT’s latest achievements.

Undergraduate Tuition and Living Cost in MIT:

Undergraduate comprises 4 years each session of 9 months. Following is 2016 – 2017 Cost (per year) for a student at MIT.

Undergraduate Financial Aid:

In MIT, a student’s Financial Need is determined using information parents provide on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile. The first $5,500 of financial need is met with an offer of a student loan/term-time job. The remaining need is met with an MIT scholarship. Students receiving scholarships and grants from sources outside MIT may use this financial aid to replace the student loan/term-time job.

2.     Stanford University

Stanford University is located in a state of USA, California. It is one of the five top universities of world. It is an elite educational institute ranked among Oxford, Harvard, MIT and Cambridge. When it comes to Computer Sciences, Stanford offers world’s 2^nd best degree of world.

The Stanford Computer Science Department was founded in 1965. There is a Stanford Hall of Fame that honors their inventors. In July, 2015 they welcomed six new technologies and honored 27 new creative inventors. Each new technology has earned more than $5 million. The 27 new prolific inventors have invented at least seven technologies that have generated over $500,000.

Stanford alumni Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s PageRank algorithm, the hypertext-searching algorithm that would form the basis of Google, is among the Invention Hall of Fame’s technologies. Stanford have generated many more top notch students like them that now are considered among world’s top in their respective field.

4.     Harvard University

Harvard University has always been one of top 3 universities of world. Harvard is a world top class institute with just 5.2% of acceptance rate in 2016. Harvard Computer Science department is rank 4^th with Carnegie Mellon University. Alumni of Harvard are literally top leaders of the world e.g. Mark Zuckerburg (CEO and owner of Facebook, one of top 10 wealthiest man), Bill Gate (CEO and owner of Microsoft, world’s wealthiest man) were Harvard students.

Computer scientists at Harvard are pursuing revolutionary work in every area of Computer sciences including theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, developments at the interface of economics and computer science, adaptive and trustworthy systems, intelligent interfaces, computer graphics, computational linguistics, privacy and security, robotics, data-management systems, networks, energy-efficient architectures, program languages, and machine learning and visualization.

Cost & Financial Aid:

Although federal aid and loans are often unavailable to international students, Harvard University provides 70% of all its students with financial aid and 60% of undergraduates receive the Harvard Scholarship. Aid given is based on financial need. Here is a number of International Scholarships in USA to study.
