Finding the Best Computer Information Systems School for You

Computer Information Systems is the most popular major in Wisconsin with 1,531 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021.

With all the computer science programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

The Best Value Computer Information Systems Schools in Wisconsin ranking is one of many tools that Computer Science Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 13 schools in Wisconsin to see which programs offered the best value experiences for CIS students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
