The programming associate degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality programming program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:
A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To account for this we include a college'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.
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their associate degree from the school. After all, your associate degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.
The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for computer programming students working on their associate degree.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best Computer Programming Associate Degree Schools in the Southeast Region ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
