TheBestSchools.org is dedicated to empowering you with the knowledge and skills you need to achieve personal happiness and career success.

For most of us, the knowledge and skills we need to succeed require more school—typically college or university.

For those still deciding on the right career, we are here to provide guidance through our career articles. For those who know what they want to do, we are here to find the best school and degree program through our ranking, school, and online-ed articles.

But we don’t just stop with finding you the right school. We also make a wide variety of unbiased and useful resources available to students as they are deciding on schools and degree programs and advancing their education.

TheBestSchools.org is an independent organization with no ties to any other educational institution. All its editors know the academic world inside out, with some holding Ph.D.’s and having extensive experience in teaching, research, and publishing at the university level.

The general editor of TheBestSchools.org is James Barham, a native Texan, who received a B.A. in Classics from the University of Texas at Austin, an M.A. in the history of science from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science from the University of Notre Dame.

We know how education works and how to make it work for you.
