Computer Systems Analysis is about average in terms of popularity for bachelor's degrees programs. That is, it ranks #164 out of the 363 majors across the country that we analyze each year. As such, the degree program isn't offered at every college in the United States, but there are schools that do have a program in the field that are top-notch when it comes to quality.
College Factual reviewed 2 schools in the Southwest Region to determine which ones were the best for bachelor's degree seekers in the field of computer systems analysis. When you put them all together, these colleges and universities awarded 293 bachelor's degrees in computer systems analysis during the 2022-2023 academic year.
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their bachelor's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their bachelor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How much a school focuses on computer systems analysis students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - The number of computer systems analysis students who choose to seek a bachelor's degree at the school.
Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
Student Debt - How much debt computer systems analysis students go into to obtain their bachelor's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized computer systems analysis related body.
