100 Best Computer Science schools in New York State

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in New York State ranked based on their research performance in Computer Science. A graph of 28.8M citations received by 819K academic papers made by 135 universities in New York State was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
