Choosing a Great Homeland Security School for Your Associate Degree
Your choice of homeland security for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality homeland security 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 take this into account we consider a school's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a host of various 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 many resources a school devotes to homeland security students as compared to other majors.
- Major Demand - How many other homeland security students want to attend this school to pursue a associate 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 homeland security related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for homeland security students working on their associate degree.
