The University of California at Berkeley's College of Engineering contains a computer science division. The division offers several undergraduate degree programs, including Bachelor of Science (BS) degree programs in computer science and engineering or electrical and computer engineering with a focus in electronics, communications, networks and systems or computer systems. Students enrolled in Berkeley's College of Letters and Science can work toward a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in computer science. Berkeley undergraduates can apply to enter the computer science division's five-year bachelor's and master's degree program leading toward the Master of Science (MS) degree in computer science. In 2009, "U.S. News & World Report" magazine ranked the University of California at Berkeley second among undergraduate computer engineering programs.

Stanford University founded its department of computer science in 1965. Undergraduate computer science majors work toward the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree with a specialization in one of seven areas: artificial intelligence, biocomputation, graphics, human-computer interaction, information, systems or theory. Students can also choose to follow an self-designed program or a more general track. Undergraduates have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty members on research during the academic year or to apply for summer research opportunities. Undergraduates can also lead discussion sections for undergraduate introductory computer science courses. In 2009, "U.S. News & World Report" magazine ranked Stanford University fifth among undergraduate computer engineering programs.
