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. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:
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 collection of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
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.
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 schools 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 Southwest Region list, to help you choose the best school for you.
