  • UB logo—excelsior!
    Excelsior!
    4/2/19

    UB's institutional reputation in the field of computer science has improved dramatically over the last decade.  By the most valid measure, our national ranking has risen from 50th to 29th.

  • CRA logo.
    Computing Research Association (CRA)
    4/2/19

    The Computing Research Association (CRA) is a leading computer science advocacy organization whose mission is to unite industry, academia, and government.  The CRA recommends CSRankings: Computer Science Rankings as the best institutional ranking agency, preferring it over the traditional standard, the US News and World Report Best Graduate Schools report.

  • UB logo—context for CRA methodology.
    Why?
    4/2/19

    The CRA supports the CSRankings report because its evaluative criteria meet the 'GOTO' standard:

    Good data.  Data have been cleaned and curated.

    Open.  Data available, regarding attributes measured, at least for verification.  

    Transparent.  Process and methodologies are entirely transparent.

    Objective.  Based on measurable attributes.

    For more details, see Department Rankings, by H.V. Jagadish.
