Choosing a Great General Journalism School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of general journalism for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality journalism 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 consider a school's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a combination of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to general journalism students as compared to other majors.
