Quality Overall Is Important

The overall quality of a associate degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Average Earnings

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to business, management & marketing students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other business, management & marketing students want to attend this school to pursue a associate degree.
