Choosing a Great Women's Studies School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of women's studies for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality women's studies program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

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

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 women's studies students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other women's studies 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.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized women's studies related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for women's studies students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the United States

Regrettably , we do not have enough facts to create a ranking of the quality colleges for women's studies in the United States. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer women's studies and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
