The Cheriton School of Computer Science has been ranked number one nationally for the third year in a row, according to the Maclean’s 2023 university rankings just released. Based on program and research reputation, computer science at Waterloo shared the podium for first place with CS programs at the University of British Columbia and University of Toronto.
“It’s gratifying to see that the Cheriton School of Computer Science is in the top spot nationally for both program and research reputation once again,” said Raouf Boutaba, Professor and Director of the Cheriton School of Computer Science. “We are fortunate to have a virtuous circle of talent, where our exceptional undergraduate and graduate students help us attract excellent faculty and staff, who in turn attract top students.”
