Average Earnings

To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their master's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their master's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

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 biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology 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 biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology 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 biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology students working on their master's degree.
