Methodology for Subject Rankings in Cyber Security Degrees
Although no ranking methodology is perfect, we strive to compile the most useful information in an easy-to-use format. We ground our methodology in statistical analysis and data from the most reliable sources to provide a factual representation of the best schools available for each subject.
Ratings are based on relevant school indicators such as retention rates, graduation rates, affordability, and the quality and variety of online course curriculum. The accreditation status of each school is also factored in as accreditation is a key factor in qualifying for federal, state, and private scholarships and grants.
While ranking systems and school ratings can provide valuable insight when choosing a school, ultimately it is, of course, the student’s choice based on the factors most important to their personal situation and needs. Using this website will allow each potential student to examine all aspects of school attendance before enrollment, allowing them to compare schools, courses, and potential career paths as they prepare to enter college.
