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

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to allied health professions students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other allied health professions 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 much debt allied health professions students go into to obtain their doctor's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
