What's the computer science and engineering programs like at Harvard?
Answered

Basically the question above. I've heard mixed answers from different sources online stating Harvard's rank as #16, #5, and more for computer science. All varies. I would like to know some more accurate information.

The computer science and engineering programs at Harvard are excellent, and most students end up with amazing options on the other end whether those are fantastic grad school acceptances or huge tech jobs. That said, Harvard does pride itself on offering all its undergraduate students a "liberal arts" education. This means that your course schedule likely won't be as entirely focused on CS and/or engineering courses as it would if you attended a tech school.
