Choosing a Great Pharmacology & Toxicology School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of pharmacology & toxicology for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality pharmacology program can vary widely even among the top schools. 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 account for this we consider a college'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 many resources a school devotes to pharmacology & toxicology students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of pharmacology & toxicology students who choose to seek a doctor's degree at the school.
• 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 pharmacology & toxicology 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 pharmacology & toxicology related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for pharmacology & toxicology students working on their doctor's degree.
