Choosing a Great Real Estate School for Your Associate Degree
The real estate associate degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality real estate 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 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
One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of associate graduates during the early years of their career. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their associate degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to real estate students as compared to other majors.
Major Demand - The number of real estate students who choose to seek a associate degree at the school.
Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
Student Debt - How easy is it for real estate to pay back their student loans after receiving their associate degree.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized real estate related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for real estate students working on their associate degree.
Since the program you select can have a significant impact on your future, we've developed a number of rankings, including this Best Real Estate Associate Degree Schools in the Southwest Region list, to help you choose the best school for you.
