collageTop academics and officials at computer science programs rated the overall quality of undergraduate programs with which they were familiar on a 1-5 scale. A school’s undergraduate computer science rank is solely determined by its average of scores received from these surveys. To be included in this standalone peer assessment survey and ranked, a program must either have been accredited by ABET, housed in an institution that grants Ph.D.s in computer science or engineering, or have recently awarded 20 or more bachelor’s degrees in computer science
B.S. in Computer Science Program Learning Goals
Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science are able to:
- Apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems.

The Online MCS@RICE Program
At Rice, we strive to deliver a personalized student experience that is collaborative and engaging. Student/faculty interaction is paramount. With the online learning experience, those interactions with professors and peers are no longer dependent on being on campus. The combination of self-paced lectures and weekly live sessions to engage with professors helps to keep students engaged while completing coursework on their own time. You no longer have to put your career on hold to build your computer science skillset.
This Online Master of Computer Science program has been built from the ground up to combine the Rice University Computer Science Department’s tradition of excellence with best-in-class online teaching methodology. Our graduates develop a well-rounded computer science skillset to pursue their next career goal in an ever-expanding, lucrative industry.
- Small class groups and 1:1 interactions with fellow students
- Just as rigorous as Rice’s On Campus Master’s in Computer Science Program
- Flexible self-paced lectures and weekly live sessions with professors
- Designed for working professionals with or without computer science backgrounds
- Get hands-on experience with modern databases, programming languages and statistical tools
- Merit scholarships available to those who qualify
