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. 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 take this into account we include a school'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.

Average Early-Career Salaries

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their doctor's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. That is, everyone wants their doctor's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

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 full 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 Missouri

On account of lacking data, we could not provide you with the law quality ranking. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in Missouri that both offer law and provided enough information for us to do a detailed analysis.
