Choosing a Great Digital Arts School for Your Associate Degree
Your choice of digital arts for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality art & technology program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:
Overall Quality Is a Must
A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To take this into account we consider a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a collection 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 digital arts students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - How many other digital arts 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 digital arts related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for digital arts students working on their associate degree.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best Digital Arts Associate Degree Schools ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
