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

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 fisheries sciences students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other fisheries sciences students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
• 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.
• Student Debt - How easy is it for fisheries sciences 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 fisheries sciences related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for fisheries sciences students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the United States

Sadly , we did not have enough data to produce a ranking of the quality schools for fisheries sciences in the United States. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer fisheries sciences and provided enough information for us to do a detailed analysis.
