According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), healthcare is one of the largest and most lucrative career fields for those with associate's degrees. The BLS reports that healthcare support occupations, which are often open to those with an associate-level degree, have a mean annual wage of $34,950—but many positions pay even more.
"Earning your associate's degree in healthcare administration is a great way to enter the field of medical office management," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "An associate's degree now can start you along the path to an entry-level job – or it can lay the groundwork for your bachelor's degree or graduate work later on."
College Choice's criteria in generating this ranking include the percentage of students successfully completing the program, selectivity in admissions, and whether or not the school has regional accreditation.
