Look in the professional journals, especially those for graphics, and
look at what schools the authors are from. The strength of the CS
department will often be proportional to the number of papers by faculty
in refereed journals because of the publish-or-perish policy.

I haven't looked at this stuff for decades, but I would imagine the
ratings published for university departments are now online and you can
find them by googling. Such ratings are very crude; they don't
discriminate very well other than quartiles. IOW, if the school is in
the top 50, it is probably a pretty good school, but that is about all
one can say.

You can also look up the bios of any prominent people you know of in the
field and see where they went to school; the school must have done
something right.

Once you have a list of schools, you need to look them up online and see
what the curriculums are and whatnot.
