Overall Quality Is a Must
A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well.

- Major Focus - How much a school focuses on humanities students vs. other majors.
- Major Demand - The number of humanities 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.
