Choosing a Great Biological & Biomedical Sciences (Other) School for Your Associate Degree

Your choice of biological and biomedical sciences (other) for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality biomedical 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 consider a school's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a combination of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Average Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of associate graduates during the early years of their career. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their associate degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

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 and biomedical sciences (other) students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of biological and biomedical sciences (other) students who choose to seek a associate degree at the school.
• 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 biological and biomedical sciences (other) students go into to obtain their associate degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized biological and biomedical sciences (other) related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for biological and biomedical sciences (other) students working on their associate degree.
