Average Earnings
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their master's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their master's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How much a school focuses on liberal arts / sciences & humanities students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - How many other liberal arts / sciences & humanities students want to attend this school to pursue a master'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.
Student Debt - How easy is it for liberal arts / sciences & humanities to pay back their student loans after receiving their master's degree.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized liberal arts / sciences & humanities related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for liberal arts / sciences & humanities students working on their master's degree.

Insufficient Data for the Rocky Mountains Region
Sad to say, we do not have adequate data to form a ranking of the quality schools for liberal arts / sciences & humanities in the Rocky Mountains Region . This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the Rocky Mountains Region that both offer liberal arts / sciences & humanities and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
The bars on the spread charts above show the distribution of the schools on this list +/- one standard deviation from the mean.
The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a branch of the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) serves as the core of the rest of our data about colleges.
Some other college data, including much of the graduate earnings data, comes from the U.S. Department of Education’s (College Scorecard).
