• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on biological & biomedical sciences students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other biological & biomedical sciences 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.
• Student Debt - How much debt biological & biomedical sciences students go into to obtain their associate degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized biological & biomedical sciences related body.
