Choosing a Great Environmental Design School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of environmental design for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality environment design program can vary widely even among the top schools. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.

A Great Overall School

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 include a school's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a host of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Early-Career Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of doctorate graduates during the early years of their career. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their doctor's 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 many resources a school devotes to environmental design students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other environmental design 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 easy is it for environmental design to pay back their student loans after receiving their doctor's degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized environmental design related body.

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

Insufficient Data for the United States

Because of absent data, we couldn't show you the environmental design quality ranking. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer environmental design and provided enough information for us to do a detailed analysis.
