@ClassicRockerDad it’s hard to find numbers for undergrad, but the graduate ranking of CS at Umass is 23, and at UA it’s 102. Calling UMass’ CS department “world class” is kind of silly, in my opinion, because CS is one of the more prestige-proof degrees.

I’m going to guess that given the overall number of universities offering graduate degrees in the US is fairly large, to me that difference in ranking does not appear to be that significant.
The other thing that I’m having D do is look at the actual core curriculum and major requirements for CS for each school. There is a lot of overlap between all of them (except Olin, which doesn’t actually have a CS major and is outside the parameters of what the OP is considering for this thread).
