Choosing a Great Wildlife Management School for Your Doctor's Degree

The wildlife 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. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

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

Average Early-Career Salaries

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their doctor's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. That is, everyone wants their doctor's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

Other Factors We Consider

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 wildlife management students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of wildlife management 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.
• Student Debt - How easy is it for wildlife management 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 wildlife management related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for wildlife management students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the United States

As a result of absent data, we couldn't show you the wildlife management quality ranking. This is usually due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer wildlife management and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
