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 make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking.

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to allied health professions students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other allied health professions students want to attend this school to pursue a master's degree.
