What's on this page: * Our Methodology
Early-Career Earnings
One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of master's graduates during the early years of their career. That is, everyone wants their master'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 many resources a school devotes to geological and earth sciences students as compared to other majors.
- Major Demand - The number of geological and earth sciences students who choose to seek a master'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 much debt geological and earth sciences students go into to obtain their master's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
- Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized geological and earth sciences related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for geological and earth sciences students working on their master's degree.
