Major Focus - How much a school focuses on maternal and child health students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - The number of maternal and child health students who choose to seek a master'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 maternal and child health related body.
