: The 50 best computer science schools in the world
These places are breeding grounds for Facebook and Google employees.
play The University of Toronto is among those in the top 50.

A computer science degree from a top university can help graduates
land their dream job at companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook.
But which computer science courses are the best ones to try and to get onto if you want to impress employers?
Using the QS World University Rankings 2017, we took a look at the universities with the top computer science and information systems courses.
The guide is one of the most reputable sources that students turn to
when deciding which universities to apply to, and employers are also
likely to refer to it when deciding which candidates to hire.
It is based on academic reputation, employer reputation, and research impact. The full methodology can be read here. We looked at the overall scores, which are out of 100.
50. University of Southern California — This is the oldest private
research university on the west coast of America. The school achieved a
score of 74.5 for its computer science and information systems courses.
