Your choice of engineering technologies for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality engineering tech program can vary widely even among the top schools. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.
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 consider 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.
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.
The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for engineering technologies students working on their associate degree.
Since the program you select can have a significant impact on your future, we've developed a number of rankings, including this Best Engineering Technologies Associate Degree Schools in the Southeast Region list, to help you choose the best school for you.
