15 Best Computer Science Courses on edX

We compared 15 Computer Science courses currently listed on edX, priced from $30.00 to $466.20. 12 of them teach the subject directly and 3 are built around a certification exam. 7 come from a named university or institution, including Institute of Science Tokyo, Maryville University and University of Bayreuth. They are ordered by our CourseAsk score, which is built from how thoroughly each course describes what it teaches, whether it comes from a named institution, and how it compares on price — not from star ratings, which our course data does not include.

How these 15 courses were chosen

Every course below is a real, currently listed course from edX, matched to "computer science" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.

There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $30.00 to $466.20, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.
