Choosing a Great Agriculture & Agriculture Operations School for Your Associate Degree

Your choice of agriculture and agriculture operations for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality agriculture and agriculture operations 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 take this into account we include a school'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.

Early-Career Earnings

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their associate degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. That is, everyone wants their associate degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

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 agriculture and agriculture operations students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other agriculture and agriculture operations 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.
• Student Debt - How much debt agriculture and agriculture operations students go into to obtain their associate degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
