Average Early-Career Salaries

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their doctor's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. That is, everyone wants their doctor's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

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 writing studies students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other writing studies students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.

• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized writing studies related body.
