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 other engineering students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other other 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 other 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 other engineering related body.

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