Average Earnings
One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of associate graduates during the early years of their career. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their associate degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
- Major Focus - How much a school focuses on computer programming students vs. other majors.
- Major Demand - How many other computer programming students want to attend this school to pursue a associate degree.
