NEW YORK – Eight Big Ten Colleges, led by the University of
Michigan, were ranked in the top 50 national schools that offer the best
undergraduate computer-science and engineering schools.
Business Insider said a degree from a top computer science or
engineering school can land graduates jobs at elite companies like Google,
Apple, Raytheon, Facebook, and Lockheed Martin.
To determine which schools offer the best undergraduate programs,
Business Insider surveyed more than 400 readers about which
degrees they deem most valuable.
Survey participants rated the schools on a scale from 1 (not
valuable) to 5 (extremely valuable).We then took the percentage of
people who assessed each school at a 4 or 5 and averaged that with the average
SAT scores (from college admissions website CollegeBoard) to rank each school.
U-M was ranked 11, followed by Northwestern at 19, Illinois at 20,
Purdue at 21, Wisconsin at 27, Penn State at 34, Ohio State at 39 and Minnesota
at 41.
