Choosing a Great Biological & Physical Sciences School for Your Associate Degree
Your choice of biological & physical sciences for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality biological & physical sciences 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 host of various 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 biological & physical sciences students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - How many other biological & physical sciences students want to attend this school to pursue a associate degree.
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 biological & physical sciences related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for biological & physical sciences students working on their associate degree.
