Choosing a Great Meteorology School for Your Bachelor's Degree
Your choice of meteorology for getting your bachelor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality meteorological science 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
The overall quality of a bachelor's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To take this into account we include 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.
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 meteorology students vs. other majors.
- Major Demand - How many other meteorology students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
- 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.
- Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized meteorology related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for meteorology students working on their bachelor's degree.
