Choosing a Great Agriculture & Agriculture Operations School for Your Bachelor's Degree
The agriculture & agriculture operations bachelor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality agriculture & agriculture operations program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:
Quality Overall Is Important
The overall quality of a bachelor's degree school is important to ensure a good education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To account for this we include a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a combination of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
Average Earnings
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their bachelor's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their bachelor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

Major Focus - How much a school focuses on agriculture & agriculture operations students vs. other majors.
