Other Factors We Consider
The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.
- Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to linguistics students as compared to other majors.
- Major Demand - The number of linguistics 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 linguistics related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for linguistics students working on their doctor's degree.
