Choosing a Great Law School for Your Doctor's Degree

The law doctor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality law 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 account for this we consider a college's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a combination of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

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 law students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of law students who choose to seek a doctor's degree at the school.
• 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 law 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 law related body.

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

Insufficient Data for Tennessee

Sad to say, we don't have enough data to produce a ranking of the top quality schools for law in Tennessee. This is usually due to there not being enough schools in Tennessee that both offer law and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
