Ranked #25 in popularity, mathematics is one of the most sought-after bachelor's degree programs in the nation. This makes choosing the right school a hard decision.
For its 2024 ranking, College Factual looked at 2 schools in Kansas to determine which ones were the best for mathematics students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Combined, these schools handed out 144 bachelor's degrees in mathematics to qualified students.
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their bachelor's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their bachelor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to mathematics students as compared to other majors.
Major Demand - How many other mathematics students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
Student Debt - How easy is it for mathematics to pay back their student loans after receiving their bachelor's degree.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized mathematics related body.
