Choosing a Great Biological & Physical Science School for Your Doctor's Degree

The biological science doctor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.

A Great Overall School

The overall quality of a doctor's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Early-Career Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of doctorate graduates during the early years of their career. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their doctor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to biological & physical science students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other biological & physical science 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 easy is it for biological & physical science to pay back their student loans after receiving their doctor's degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized biological & physical science related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for biological & physical science students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the Southeast Region

On account of missing data, we could not show you the biological & physical science quality ranking. This is usually due to there not being enough schools in the Southeast Region that both offer biological & physical science and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
