The United States is a big country, which means lots of people with different ideas, goals, needs and dreams. Postsecondary education in the US therefore offers lots of options, including private universities and colleges. In fact, private institutions have been educating Americans since 1636 when Harvard--the nation's first private institution--was founded. And while computer science programs haven't been around quite that long, today's 1,600 private institutions pride themselves on being up-to-date with technology and industry.

The diversity of today's private colleges and universities might surprise you. From small schools with under 100 students to large universities with over 30,000, private universities and colleges include every type of school: liberal arts colleges, church- and faith-affiliated institutions, historically black colleges and universities, women's colleges, art institutes, two-year colleges, and schools of law, medicine, engineering, business, and other professions. And while many people think only the rich can afford private universities and colleges, the reality is that almost 90% of their students receive some sort of financial assistance. So if you're looking for a challenging computer science program at a world-class institution, plug into what's offered at the private colleges and universities in the US today!
