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

Your choice of ocean engineering for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality oe 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

The overall quality of a doctor's degree school is important to ensure a quality 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.

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

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on ocean engineering students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other ocean engineering students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
• 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.
• Student Debt - How easy is it for ocean 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 ocean engineering related body.

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

Insufficient Data for the United States

Due to absent data, we couldn't provide you with the ocean engineering quality ranking. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer ocean engineering and provided enough information for us to do a sufficient analysis.
