Choosing a Great Management Sciences & Quantitative Methods School for Your Master's Degree

The management science master's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality management science 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 make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Master'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 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.

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

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to management sciences & quantitative methods students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of management sciences & quantitative methods students who choose to seek a master'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 much debt management sciences & quantitative methods students go into to obtain their master's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
