Choosing a Great Missionary Studies School for Your Associate Degree

The missionary studies associate degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:

Quality Overall Is Important

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To take this into account we consider a school's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a combination of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Average Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of associate graduates during the early years of their career. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their associate degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

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 missionary studies students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of missionary studies 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 missionary studies to pay back their student loans after receiving their associate degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized missionary studies related body.

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

Insufficient Data for the United States

Regrettably , we did not have sufficient facts to create a ranking of the top quality schools for missionary studies in the United States. This is usually due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer missionary studies and provided enough information for us to do a sufficient analysis.
