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 many resources a school devotes to electrical engineering students as compared to other majors.
Major Demand - How many other electrical engineering 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 electrical engineering 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 electrical engineering related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for electrical engineering students working on their doctor's degree.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best Electrical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Washington ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
