Students don’t just leave ratings and reviews. They often post more personal experiences about their respective programs. One Virginia Tech Class of 2015 Veterinary doctoral student wrote, “Obtaining a veterinary degree yields a high volume of work and an increased stress level. With that being said, Virginia Tech's veterinary professors and clinicians strive to assist students with their needs. Professors and clinicians are able to help with class work or finding jobs and externships and the staff in the admissions office is always willing to help you find someone who can help you. Although our caseload is smaller than some other schools, there are still ample and varied cases to learn from and hands on experiences are promoted!”

Students can continue to review their programs at http://www.graduateprograms.com and qualify to win a $1,000 scholarship, awarded once per semester. Reviews will be incorporated into upcoming program rankings.

METHODOLOGY

Graduateprograms.com reaches current and recent graduate students through scholarship entries as well as social media platforms. Graduateprograms.com assigns 15 ranking categories to each graduate program at each graduate school. Rankings cover a variety of student topics, such as academic competitiveness, career support, financial aid, and quality of network.

For a given graduate program, rankings are determined by calculating the average score for each program based on the 15 ranking categories. These scores are then compared across all ranked schools for that program and are translated into a final ranking for that graduate program, i.e., business and management. A given graduate program is not ranked until a minimum threshold of graduate student surveys is completed for that graduate program.
