Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Computer Science graduates earn?

Across 345 schools, Computer Science graduates earn an average of $73,714 per year in their first year after graduation. Earnings range from $19,049 to $173,344 depending on the school.

What is the AI automation risk for Computer Science?

Computer Science is rated "Very High" for AI automation risk, with an average of 61% of job tasks exposed to large language models and AI tools. This means most career tasks in this field could be augmented or replaced by AI over the next decade.

Which school has the best Computer Science program?

Based on our DegreeWorth Score (combining earnings, AI resilience, job market size, and ROI), University of California-Berkeley ranks #1 for Computer Science with a score of 90/100 and graduate earnings of $149,866/yr.

Is a Computer Science degree worth it?

On average, Computer Science graduates earn 15.6x their in-state tuition over 10 years. This is a strong return on investment.

About This Data

This page aggregates Computer Science programs across 345 schools using earnings data from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, employment projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2024–2034), and AI automation risk research from OpenAI and academic institutions.

The DegreeWorth Score (0–100) combines four equally weighted factors: graduate earnings, AI resilience, job market size, and return on investment. Each school's program page includes three AI scenarios (optimistic, base case, pessimistic) showing how automation could affect 10-year earnings.

Data: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard (earnings, debt), Bureau of Labor Statistics 2024–2034 (employment projections), OpenAI GPTs-are-GPTs research (AI task exposure), Felten et al. AIOE. Last updated 2025.
