“Our continued rise in the rankings is a testament to our excellence and the collaborative spirit that drives innovation at Georgia Tech around all aspects of computing,” said College of Computing Dean Vivek Sarkar.

The College of Computing is home to Georgia Tech’s graduate CS programs.

The 2025 USNWR rankings underscore Georgia Tech’s academic and research strength across computing specialties. Listed among the top ten programs for nearly a decade, graduate artificial intelligence (AI) ranks No. 6 in the latest report.

Other 2025 tech rankings include programming languages at No. 13, systems at No. 4, and theory at No. 12.

CS at Georgia Tech earned a peer assessment score of 4.6 in the 2025 USNWR Best Graduate Schools report.

The rankings are "based solely on the results of surveys sent to academic officials in fall 2024 and early 2025 in computer science," according to U.S. News and World Report.
