Choosing a Great Building Management & Inspection School for Your Associate Degree

Your choice of building management & inspection for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality building management 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 account for this we include a school's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a host of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Average Early-Career Salaries

To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their associate degree from the school. After all, your associate degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.

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 building management & inspection students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of building management & inspection 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.
