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.

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.
