Choosing a Great Mental Health Counseling/Counselor School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of mental health counseling/counselor for getting your doctor's degree school matters. This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:

Quality Overall Is Important

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To take this into account we include a college's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a host of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

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 mental health counseling/counselor students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of mental health counseling/counselor students who choose to seek a doctor'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.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized mental health counseling/counselor related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for mental health counseling/counselor students working on their doctor's degree.
