About This Website: FAQs

What Is It?: A non-commercial, completely free-access online guide  to U.S. schools offering accredited degree programs in computer science at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Overall, The Online Guide seeks to serve as the premiere website for students to quickly and easily find information about schools offering computer science degree programs.

Who’s Behind This?: Engineers Dedicated to a Better Tomorrow (a.k.a., DedicatedEngineers), a charitable/educational non-profit [IRS 501(c)(3)-approved] that seeks to promote engineering and related studies and careers - including computer science - as an integral part of its overall mission. For more information on DedicatedEngineers please visit our website.

How Does The Site Work?: The Online Guide provides a search engine for users to identify schools based on various search criteria - name, location (state), degree level, etc. Each search conducted yields a list of school names, from which users can then click on any particular name to obtain a descriptive profile of both the school and its computer science program.

What Is Included As Part Of A School’s Descriptive Profile In The Online Guide?: The descriptive profile provided for a particular school is intended to give, in a Peterson's Guide © -type format, basic information about both the overall college ("General College Information" section) and the computer science program in particular ("CS Program Information" section), along with a listing of relevant contact information for further information/exploration ("Contact Information" section). A Descriptive Profile Outline shows exactly what type of information is provided in a typical profile. The best way to see what information is made available, however, is to review an actual profile, like this one for Carnegie Mellon! :)

Is Other Relevant Information Provided On The Site? Yes – the “Info on Computer Science Studies and Careers” section is intended to aid students in considering and pursuing computer science studies and careers.
