Choosing a Great Music Education School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of music education for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality music teacher education 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

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 many resources a school devotes to music education students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of music education 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 music education related body.

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