Missouri does have some noteworthy Computer Science programs. Here are a few to consider:
1. Washington University in St. Louis (WashU): WashU's School of Engineering & Applied Science offers a reputable BS in Computer Science and a combined BS/MS program. WashU is recognized for its strong faculty and research opportunities.
2. University of Missouri, Columbia (Mizzou): Mizzou's College of Engineering offers a BS in Computer Science. This school is a fantastic public option and offers undergrads opportunities to participate in in-depth research projects.
3. Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T): As a school focusing on science & technology, their Computer Science program is robust with options to specialize in different areas such as cybersecurity and software engineering.
4. Saint Louis University (SLU): The Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology at SLU offers a BS in Computer Science. At SLU, you can benefit from small class sizes and a lot of individual attention from faculty.
