Early-Career Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of master's graduates during the early years of their career. That is, everyone wants their master's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

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 medical science students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of medical science students who choose to seek a master's degree at the school.
