Find programs based on their tuition and fees. State-funded universities often charge lower rates for students who are considered residents of the state. If you are from out of state, it may take some time to become a resident. Check with the institution about residency requirements. "Highest 20%" means the 20% of programs with the highest tuition and fees, "Lowest 20%" means the 20% of programs with the lowest tuition and fees, and so on. Tuition information comes from IPEDS, 2009.

Outcomes

Placement rate

+- ?

Find programs based on the percentage of recent doctorate recipients with definite plans at graduation (either a job or a postdoctoral position). "Highest 20%" means the 20% of programs with the highest percentage of doctorate recipients with definite plans, "Lowest 20%" means the 20% of programs with the lowest percentage with definite plans, and so on. High placement rates may mean that a department does a good job of helping students find jobs or that its graduates are perceived as more employable. The information on placement rates comes from SED, 2000–2004.

Years to doctorate

Find programs based on the amount of time required to earn a doctorate. "Shortest 20%" means the 20% of programs with the shortest median time to degree, "Longest 20%" means the 20% of programs with the longest time to degree, and so on. The information on time to degree recipients comes from SED, 2000–2004.

Undergraduate selectivity

+- ?

Find programs based on the percentage of undergraduate applicants that are accepted at the institution. "Most selective 20%" means the 20% of programs at the most selective institution, "Least selective 20%" means the 20% of programs at the least selective institutions, and so on. In the absence of other information, undergraduate selectivity can serve as a rough predictor of the selectivity of a graduate program. It is not a perfect predictor, however. Institutions that are less selective in admitting undergraduates may nonetheless have very selective graduate programs in some fields, and graduate programs at highly selective undergraduate institutions may be less selective in some fields. If you think that you are likely to have a teaching assistantship, undergraduate selectivity will give you some idea of the caliber of students you would have in the classes you teach. The information on selectivity comes from IPEDS, 2009.
