SALARY AVERAGES BY MAJORS
The salary averages below are aggregated from responses to the First Destination Survey from the graduating classes of 2017, 2018, and 2019, based upon majors offered at the University at that time. Where program name changes occurred, such as Engineering Management changing to Construction Management, data was averaged together.
In order to provide a more accurate picture of starting salaries new graduates could expect when securing a professional position within their area of study, internship (with the exception of Architecture graduates pursuing a Master’s degree), non-professional, vastly inflated, and part-time wages were not used in determining the average starting salary.
