A Great Overall School
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.

Early-Career Earnings
One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of bachelor's graduates during the early years of their career. That is, everyone wants their bachelor's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.
