Choosing a Great Geophysics & Seismology School for Your Doctor's Degree

Your choice of geophysics & seismology for getting your doctor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality geophysics program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:

Quality Overall Is Important

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To account for this we include a college's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a combination of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on geophysics & seismology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of geophysics & seismology students who choose to seek a doctor's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized geophysics & seismology related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for geophysics & seismology students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the Rocky Mountains Region
