Choosing a Great Humanities School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of humanities for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality humanities 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

The overall quality of a doctor's degree school is important to ensure a good education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to humanities students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other humanities students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
• Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized humanities related body.

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