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

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

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

Your choice of mining engineering for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality mining engineering 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 take this into account we consider a college's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a collection 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 much a school focuses on mining engineering students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of mining 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 easy is it for mining engineering to pay back their student loans after receiving their doctor's degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized mining engineering related body.

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

Insufficient Data for the United States

As a result of lacking data, we couldn't provide you with the mining engineering quality ranking. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer mining engineering and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
