Other Factors We Consider

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

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on astronomy students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of astronomy students who choose to seek a doctor's degree at the school.
• 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.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized astronomy related body.

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