Choosing a Great Electrician School for Your Associate Degree
Your choice of electrician for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality electrician program can vary widely even among the top schools. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.
A Great Overall School
A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To account for this we consider a school's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a collection 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 electrician students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - The number of electrician 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 electrician related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for electrician students working on their associate degree.
