Choosing a Great Archeology School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of archeology for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality archeology 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

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To take this into account we consider 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.

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

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 archeology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other archeology students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
• 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 archeology 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 archeology related body.

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

Insufficient Data for the United States

Unfortunately , we did not have sufficient data to make a ranking of the top quality schools for archeology in the United States. This is usually due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer archeology and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
