Computer Systems Networking isn't the most popular bachelor's program in the world, but it's not the least popular either. To be more precise it ranks #153 in popularity out of 363 majors in the country. 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.
For its 2025 ranking, College Factual looked at 2 schools in Ohio to determine which ones were the best for computer systems networking students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Combined, these schools handed out 52 bachelor's degrees in computer systems networking to qualified students.
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.
