Computerworld's 2008 list of IT Schools to Watch has been released and includes 56 schools. Penn was ranked among the top ten innovators, and this profile features Penn's masters program designed people without undergraduate computer science/engineering degrees.
Other area schools included are Penn State (University Park), Drexel and Princeton. Also, surprisingly (to me anyway), Rutgers-New Brunswick made the list.
What is interesting is that if you look at the map on the first page of the article (I'd embed it here if I could), you'll notice the heavy concentration of schools in the Northeast United States, and the relative sparseness elsewhere. This would seem to bode well for high technology in this part of the country, but of course, how much formal IT education did Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have?
