Choosing a Great General Physics School for Your Doctor's Degree
The general physics doctor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality general physics 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 quality 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 much a school focuses on general physics students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - How many other general physics 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 general physics related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for general physics students working on their doctor's degree.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best General Physics Doctor's Degree Schools in the New England Region ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
