Best Manufacturing Engineering Doctor’s Degree Colleges in the United States

Unfortunately, there were no schools in the United States that made our Best Manufacturing Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools list. You may want to check out our national ranking in the field instead.

Choosing a Great Manufacturing Engineering School for Your Doctor's Degree

The manufacturing engineering doctor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. 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 include a college's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a collection of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Early-Career Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of doctorate graduates during the early years of their career. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their doctor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

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 manufacturing engineering students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of manufacturing engineering 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 manufacturing engineering 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 manufacturing engineering related body.

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

Insufficient Data for the United States

Because of lacking data, we couldn't show you the manufacturing engineering quality ranking. This is usually due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer manufacturing engineering and provided enough information for us to do a detailed analysis.
