To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their master's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their master's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

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 behavioral science students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of behavioral science 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.
