Choosing a Great Foreign Languages & Linguistics School for Your Master's Degree

Your choice of foreign languages & linguistics for getting your master's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality foreign languages & linguistics program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

The overall quality of a master's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To take this into account we include a college's overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking which itself looks at a combination of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Average Early-Career Salaries

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their master's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. After all, your master'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 foreign languages & linguistics students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of foreign languages & linguistics students who choose to seek a master'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 foreign languages & linguistics to pay back their student loans after receiving their master's degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized foreign languages & linguistics related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for foreign languages & linguistics students working on their master's degree.
