Choosing a Great Astronomy & Astrophysics School for Your Master's Degree
The astronomy master's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality astronomy 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 make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.
Early-Career Earnings
One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of master's graduates during the early years of their career. That is, everyone wants their master's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.
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 astronomy & astrophysics students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - How many other astronomy & astrophysics 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 astronomy & astrophysics 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 astronomy & astrophysics related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for astronomy & astrophysics students working on their master's degree.

Insufficient Data for the Great Lakes Region
Regrettably , we did not have sufficient data to produce a ranking of the top quality schools for astronomy & astrophysics in the Great Lakes Region . This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the Great Lakes Region that both offer astronomy & astrophysics and provided enough information for us to do a sufficient 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.
