In the high-stakes world of programming, it may seem like the only way to break into the field is by attending a “top-tier” school like MIT or Stanford.

The tech founders Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Tony Hsieh, and Sheila Lirio Marcelo all attended Harvard, but while “The Social Network” is based on a true story, it’s not true that Harvard is a prerequisite to a successful tech career.

The number of tech-industry job seekers on the job-search platform Indeed has increased 30% this year. Tech candidates are used to being wooed into high-paying roles during a recruitment process that includes comped travel and starting salaries above $80,000.

If you are interested in landing a role in tech, it helps to study an in-demand programming language like Python or SQL.

HackerRank, an interview and hiring platform for tech talent, crunched the numbers on 1 million certification attempts on its platform to identify the most popular programming languages and the top universities qualified tech candidates are attending. It listed the New Jersey Institute of Technology and University of Texas at Arlington among the top options.

“As more American companies embrace long-term remote or hybrid work, they have their pick of top tech talent across several US regions – and beyond schools with computer science programs that often top academic rankings, like Carnegie Mellon University or MIT,” HackerRank CEO Vivek Ravisankar wrote in a company blog post.

For employers looking to recruit, or aspiring developers looking to learn, these 15 colleges and universities should be on top of your list.
