Choosing a Great Exercise Science and Kinesiology School for Your Doctor's Degree

The exercise science doctor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality exercise science program can vary widely even among the top schools. 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 include a college's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a host of different 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 much a school focuses on exercise science and kinesiology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of exercise science and kinesiology 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 exercise science and kinesiology related body.

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