Choosing a Great Gerontology School for Your Doctor's Degree

The gerontology doctor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To take this into account we consider a college's overall Best Colleges for a Doctor's Degree ranking which itself looks at a combination of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

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 gerontology students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other gerontology students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
• 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 gerontology related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for gerontology students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the United States

Sad to say, we do not have sufficient facts to produce a ranking of the quality colleges for gerontology in the United States. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer gerontology and provided enough information for us to do a proper analysis.
