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

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

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology 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.
• Student Debt - How much debt biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology 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 biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology related body.

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