Average Early-Career Salaries

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.

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 public health students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of public health students who choose to seek a associate degree at the school.
• 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 easy is it for public health to pay back their student loans after receiving their associate degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized public health related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for public health students working on their associate degree.

Insufficient Data for California

Regrettably , we don't have sufficient facts to form a ranking of the top quality colleges for public health in California. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in California that both offer public health and provided enough information for us to do a detailed analysis.
