Choosing a Great Entrepreneurship School for Your Associate Degree

Your choice of entrepreneurship for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality entrepreneurial studies program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To take this into account we consider a school'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.

Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on entrepreneurship students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of entrepreneurship students who choose to seek a associate degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized entrepreneurship related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for entrepreneurship students working on their associate degree.
