• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to modern languages students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other modern languages 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.
