Choosing a Great Computational Mathematics School for Your Bachelor's Degree

Your choice of computational mathematics for getting your bachelor's degree school matters. This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

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. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to computational mathematics students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other computational mathematics students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
• Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized computational mathematics related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for computational mathematics students working on their bachelor's degree.

One Size Does Not Fit All
