Overall Quality Is a Must

The overall quality of a doctor's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major.

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to geography and environmental studies students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of geography and environmental studies students who choose to seek a doctor's degree at the school.
• 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.
