Choosing a Great Atmospheric Sciences & Meteorology School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of atmospheric sciences & meteorology for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality meteorology program can vary widely even among the top schools. 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 good 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 atmospheric sciences & meteorology students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of atmospheric sciences & meteorology 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.
• Student Debt - How easy is it for atmospheric sciences & meteorology 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 atmospheric sciences & meteorology related body.

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