Choosing a Great Fire Science School for Your Associate Degree
Your choice of fire science for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality fire science 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
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 include a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a combination 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 many resources a school devotes to fire science students as compared to other majors.
- Major Demand - How many other fire science 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 fire science related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for fire science students working on their associate degree.
