Texas Colleges That Award Computer Science Degrees

Texas produces a large share of US computer science bachelor's degrees, from flagship CS programs to regional campuses with room to admit. This list is Texas institutions that actually award CS degrees in IPEDS completions data, ordered by national rank when available — not a recycled 'best CS schools' national page with Texas mentioned once.

Campus statistics come from stored IPEDS and College Scorecard records; GPA and testing fields are stored college details. Per-record reporting years, GPA scales, and policy verification dates are unavailable on this page. A campus acceptance rate describes a past applicant pool, not your individual chance or a major's admission rate.

Check the official admissions link on each school profile for your current application cycle. Test-flexible does not mean no testing. Confirm program, scholarship, residency, and applicant-type exceptions.

Net prices are historical averages for eligible student groups, not aid offers; public-college figures may reflect in-state students. Compare your budget with the college's official net price calculator before paying application fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best CS colleges in Texas?

Flagship and research campuses dominate national CS reputation, but many regional Texas publics award CS degrees and admit at much higher rates. Direct-admit policy matters as much as brand.

Is CS harder to get into than the university in Texas?

Often yes at capacity-capped programs. IPEDS publishes campus-level admit rates, not CS-major rates. Treat the campus rate as a ceiling, not the CS rate.

Do I need a high SAT for Texas CS programs?

At the most competitive CS colleges, yes. At regional publics, GPA and residency can matter more, and some remain test-optional.
