JOHNSON CITY – East Tennessee State University offers the best computing degree programs
in Tennessee, according to ranking websites CollegeFactual.com and Universities.com.
Both sites recently ranked ETSU the No. 1 “2021 Best College for Computer Information
Systems in Tennessee” and the No. 2 “Best Computer and Information Sciences College
in Tennessee for 2021,” respectively.
“This recognition underscores the value of an ETSU computing education, as well as
the quality and effectiveness of work from both our faculty and our students,” said
Dr. Tony Pittarese, department of computing chair and professor. “The department of
computing is a place of opportunity for students to learn skills that equip them to
go on to have great careers. Our faculty is a diverse group of professionals, focused
on student success as we continue to produce graduates that have a positive impact
throughout our region and across the country.”
ETSU Department of Computing
offers four undergraduate concentrations: computer science, cybersecurity and modern
networks, information systems, and information technology, as well as three graduate-level
programs: a Master of Science in computer science or information systems, and a graduate
certificate in data analytics.
In March, ETSU announced an accelerated Bachelor of Science degree in computing with
a concentration in information systems to serve as the foundation for Chattanooga-based
Tennessee BlueSky Institute
in partnership with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. BlueSky will place special
focus on identifying and recruiting high-potential students from Hamilton County’s
most challenged high schools with classes expected to begin in Summer 2022. Students
will complete their coursework on the BlueCross campus, located in Downtown Chattanooga.
In addition to hands-on portfolio-building, BlueSky graduates will also earn the opportunity
to receive a job offer from BlueCross Blue Shield.
