UC Berkeley’s graduate programs in computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering continue to receive high rankings by U.S. News & World Report, according to 2025 rankings released April 8.

The following rankings were given to Berkeley graduate programs:

  • #1 in computer engineering and electrical engineering
  • #2 in computer science

Berkeley's computer engineering graduate program was tied for the No. 1 slot with the Massachusetts Institute for Technology. Berkeley's electrical engineering graduate program was tied for the No. 1 slot with programs at Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute for Technology.

Berkeley's computer science graduate program was tied for the No. 2 slot with computer science programs at Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology computer science program was ranked first in the nation.

Berkeley’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) – which houses these graduate programs – is shared by the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society and the College of Engineering. Learn more about Berkeley EECS graduate programs.

Several other Berkeley graduate programs in business, public health, education, public policy and more were listed in the top 10 for their disciplines. These rankings are based on a survey of academics at peer institutions conducted by U.S. News & World Report.
