The management science master's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality management science 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 make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

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 master's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their master's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to management sciences & quantitative methods students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of management sciences & quantitative methods students who choose to seek a master's degree at the school.
