Choosing a Great Animal Science School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of animal science for getting your doctor'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. 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 for a Doctor's Degree 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.

Average Earnings

To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their doctor's degree from the school. After all, your doctor's degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.

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 animal science students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other animal science students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor'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.
• Student Debt - How much debt animal science students go into to obtain their doctor's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized animal science related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for animal science students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the New England Region

Because of lacking data, we couldn't provide you with the animal science quality ranking. This is usually due to there not being enough schools in the New England Region that both offer animal science and provided enough information for us to do a sufficient analysis.
