Choosing a Great Educational Assessment School for Your Master's Degree
Your choice of educational assessment for getting your master's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality assessment 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 master's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To account for this we consider a school's overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking which itself looks at a collection of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
Average Early-Career Salaries
Average early-career salary of those graduating with their master's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. After all, your master's degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.
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 educational assessment students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - How many other educational assessment students want to attend this school to pursue a master'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.
Student Debt - How much debt educational assessment students go into to obtain their master's 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 educational assessment related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for educational assessment students working on their master's degree.
Since the program you select can have a significant impact on your future, we've developed a number of rankings, including this Best Educational Assessment Master's Degree Schools in the Southeast Region list, to help you choose the best school for you.
