Choosing a Great Geography School for Your Bachelor's Degree
Your choice of geography for getting your bachelor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality geography program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:
Quality Overall Is Important
The overall quality of a bachelor's degree school is important to ensure a good education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To account for this we include a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a combination of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
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 geography students vs. other majors.
- Major Demand - How many other geography students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor'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.
- Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized geography related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for geography students working on their bachelor's degree.
