Choosing a Great Architecture School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of architecture 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. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.

A Great Overall School

The overall quality of a doctor's degree school is important to ensure a good education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on architecture students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of architecture students who choose to seek a doctor's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized architecture related body.

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

Insufficient Data for the United States

Regrettably , we did not have enough data to create a ranking of the quality colleges for architecture in the United States. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer architecture and provided enough information for us to do a detailed analysis.
