The University of Utah Speciality : Computer Science
programme: Computer Science and Engineering

My experience here as a funded PhD student has been highly positive, largely thanks to my advisor. The administration, specifically within the School of Computing, is incredibly supportive. The CS department provides a wide variety of courses across different tracks, and the research environment is outstanding—particularly the visualization labs (SCI). That said, if the university wants to climb the rankings and compete as a top-tier institution today, it needs to significantly increase its focus on AI. Even with that in mind, I highly recommend this university to anyone considering a PhD here.
