Georgetown University Computer Science Master’s Program Ranked #15 by TechGuide

Posted in News Story

Georgetown University’s Master of Science in Computer Science program has been ranked #15 nationwide in The Best Master’s Degree in Computer Science Programs for 2025 by TechGuide. TechGuide’s rankings are based on public data from April 2025 from IPEDS and the National Center for Education Statistics (via College Navigator). The criteria are based on tuition affordability, student-to-faculty ratio, admission and graduation rates, and alumni outcomes. This recognition highlights Georgetown’s commitment to providing a rigorous and flexible education that prepares its graduate students for leadership roles in the rapidly evolving technology landscape.

According to Professor Jeremy Fineman, Wagner Chair and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Computer Science, “Two of the strengths of our Master’s program are the low student-to-faculty ratio and that almost all of our graduate classes are taught by research-active faculty. I’m pleased to see that these strengths have translated to a high ranking for our program.“

The 30-credit, STEM-designated Master’s program offers students a flexible program designed to connect their education to their professional goals. It also exposes them to a wide array of electives in critical areas of computer science, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, privacy-enhancing technologies, networking, systems, complexity theory, parallel and distributed algorithms, data science and more. 

Rebecca Ansell, a graduate of the Master’s program and now a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Georgetown, reflects on how the Master’s program extended beyond coursework in ways that were personally meaningful: “The most valuable lesson I learned during my Master’s journey at Georgetown was how to think critically and care about the world. The experience profoundly shaped how I approach challenges, giving me opportunities to conduct research, study advanced computer science, and learn from world thought leaders.”
