לא מבין כ"כ במדעי הרוח, אבל במדעי הטבע איכות הדוקטורט נמדדת לפי איכות המחקר של הסטודנט/ית. זה בתורו נמדד לפי איכות וכמות מאמרי מחקר מקוריים. כל קורס מעבר לקורסי הכשרה בסיסיים מהווה זמן שאינו מחקרי. לכאורה הלימוד הוא במעבדה.

בנוסף, הרבה תוכניות דוקטורט בארה"ב לא יקבלו סטודנטים מאוניברסיטאות זרות אא"כ הם סיימו תואר שני.
