U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 listing of Best Computer Science Programs is a good starting point. Remember, they refresh their list every year. It’s good to understand their methodology, because what’s important for their rankings may not be important for yours.
 
Remember, while a degree can be important for a DevOps Career, employers are looking for specific knowledge and skills along with experience. Don’t assume that just graduating from a good program will be enough to land you a job. The certificates and training listed above can be equally important for some employers. It all depends on what they need, and needs can change. 
 
The key to success as a DevOps Engineer is to stay flexible, stay current, and tailor your academics to the precise demands of your target employers. Take the initiative to look up the contact information of DevOps Engineers currently working where you want to work, and ask them directly where they went to school, what they majored in, what electives they recommend, and which additional certs and job experience they suggest. You can also use discussion threads or Q&A sites like Quora to post questions (but keep an eye on the dates that answers were written). 

• Before you even start looking for a job, start looking at job openings. Read the listed required qualifications for jobs you want to have, at companies you want to work for
• Get lots of skills practice, the sooner, the better! (see the above Education and Training section for classes and certs you can do on your own time)
• Remember, DevOps works smack in the middle of things, so keep training balanced
• Look for ways to practice required soft skills, like serving on school committees in positions where leadership and management are necessary. Don’t take backseat roles
• When you have some marketable tricks up your sleeve, start putting them to work on freelance sites such as Upwork, to gain hands-on, paid experience
• Find DevOps internships on job portals or ask your college program for assistance
• Be a joiner! Sign up for IT-related clubs to grow your network and socialize with others who share your interests
• Find a senior DevOps ninja willing to take you under their wing and mentor you
• Become a master communicator and mediator
