Finding the Best Computer Science Bachelor's Degree School for You

Out of the majors we analyze each year, computer science was ranked 3rd in Utah. In fact, 1,366 were awarded in the state in 2020-2021.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for computer science students. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

The Best Value Computer Science Bachelor's Degree Schools in Utah ranking is one of many tools that Computer Science Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 6 schools in Utah to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for compsci students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. 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.

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