Time to Degree ?
A short time to degree can mean lower expenses for you and less time away from employment.
Median years required to complete a doctorate	5.2	5.6	6.1	4.9
Employment Status at Graduation ?
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.

Tuition and Other Expenses at the Institution (IPEDS, 2005)
	University of Washington-Seattle Campus	Colorado State University	Case Western Reserve University	Texas A & M University
Graduate Tuition and Fees, Out-of-State Students ?
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.
Full-time students: Tuition ?	$18,800	$14,958	$26,700	$11,112
Many students do not pay full tuition. See the information on tuition remission.
Full-time students: Fees ?	$507	$1,181	$10	$1,974
The fixed sum charged to students for items not covered by tuition and required of such a large proportion of all students that the student who does NOT pay the charge is an exception
Part-time students: Cost per credit hour	$325	$831	$1,112	$463
Graduate Tuition and Fees, In-State Students ?
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.
Full-time students: Tuition ?	$7,750	$3,690	$26,700	$4,488

Tuition Remission for the Program † (SED, 2000–2004) ?
Students often do not pay the full amount of tuition. For example, teaching and research assistantships often provide for remission of most or all of a graduate student’s tuition. 0% remission means that the student pays full tuition; 100% remission means that the student pays no tuition.

Reputation (NRC, 1995) ?
In 1993, the National Research Council asked faculty members to rate the educational effectiveness of doctoral programs at other universities on a scale of 0 ("Not Effective") to 5 ("Extremely Effective"). (Note that the resulting effectiveness ratings were found to be almost perfectly correlated (r=0.99) with ratings of "faculty quality," which suggests that the ratings may simply reflect the overall reputation of a program rather than any specific educational achievements.)
