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 much a school focuses on ecology, evolution & systematics biology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other ecology, evolution & systematics biology students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
• 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 ecology, evolution & systematics biology 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 ecology, evolution & systematics biology related body.

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

Insufficient Data for Illinois

Regrettably , we did not have adequate data to form a ranking of the quality colleges for ecology, evolution & systematics biology in Illinois. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in Illinois that both offer ecology, evolution & systematics biology and provided enough information for us to do a sufficient analysis.
