Where are the best schools and graduate programs?
Contrary to popular opinion, there aren’t really any best schools or programs. It depends entirely on the details of what the student is looking for. In other words, it comes down to what is best for you, given your long-term career objectives. Hopefully, the resources available on this website will help you figure out which programs are best for you. One widely held misconceptions is that high-profile schools offer superior graduate training to that available at lesser-known schools. Another myth is that one’s career opportunities are generally better with a Ph.D. from a high-profile university. Not at all true, in the vast majority of cases.
