Salary Survey Issues for the Class of 2016

The Winter 2016 Salary Survey contains annual salary projections for Class of 2016 college graduates. The figures reported are for base salaries only and do not include bonuses, commissions, fringe benefits, or overtime rates. The report provides the detailed salary projections by academic major and degree level, along with breakouts by both industry and geographic region. Data contained in the report were obtained by surveying NACE employer members from August 5, 2015, through November 6, 2015. A total of 274 surveys were returned—a 27.4 percent response rate. Of those responding, 14.2 percent of respondents were from the West, 23 percent were from the Northeast, 31 percent were from the Midwest, and 31.8 percent were from the Southeast. A list of respondents by industry and size, and a partial list of organizations that supplied data for this report can be found in the Appendix.

Salary Survey (ISSN 1520-8648) is available to individuals holding membership in the National Association of Colleges and Employers; it is also available on a

subscription basis. The Salary Survey report is published three times a year—January, April, and September—by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 62 Highland Ave., Bethlehem, PA 18017-9085. For more information, see www.naceweb.org/salary-resources/index.aspx or contact NACE at 610.868.1421.

The Winter issue features starting salary projections by major from employer-provided data. The Winter 2016 report is the first report for the Class of 2016. Data are available by major, industry, and region. There are also data for advanced-degree candidates—the report includes data for 40 master’s and 16 doctoral degree disciplines. The Fall issue reports data from participating institutions; the data are provided to the schools by their graduates. In this sense, the data are “early” returns on First-Destination Survey salary data. The report includes data by major and region. The Fall 2016 issue will provide actual starting salary data for the Class of 2016.

The Spring issue serves as the final report for the graduating class—the previous year’s class, that is. The report features data provided through the national First-Destination Survey initiative; the data represent actual, starting salaries (not projections) report by graduates to their institutions. Data are by major and region. The Spring 2016 issue is the final report on starting salaries for the Class of 2015. The Spring 2017 Salary Survey will serve as the final report for the Class of 2016.

Starting Salary by Academic Major

PAGE 9, 43, 61

In this section, you will find the average starting salary according to the major field of study, with no regard to the type of employer reporting the salary. Refer to this section when you want to know the starting salary for a graduate holding a degree in a specific discipline, such as accounting or computer science.

Starting Salary by Major and Industry

PAGE 15, 47, 61

This section shows data first by the major field of study, then by the type of employer (industry) reporting the salaries. Employer types are listed in alphabetical order under each major. See this section when you want the average starting salary reported by a specific type of employer to a graduate earning a degree in a specific major. (Example: Average salary that chemical (pharmaceutical) manufacturing firms are reporting for electrical engineering graduates.)

Starting Salary by Industry and Major

PAGE 24, 50, 62

This section contains the same basic information as “Starting Salaries by Major and Industry,” but in a different order. You will see data by a specific type of employer (industry), then according to the average salary by major field of study. Industries are arranged in alphabetical order. Majors are listed under each industry in the typical report order by broad category, then alphabetical within the category. Use this section to find the average starting salary reported by a specific type of employer to a graduate in a specific major. (Example: Majors hired by construction firms, and their corresponding average starting salaries.)

Starting Salary by Region and Major

PAGE 33, 54, 62

In this section, you will find the average starting salary according to the major field of study, within the four geographic regions (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, and West.) The regional data are based upon the participating organizations that supplied information for the majors within each region. The majors are reported in typical report order by broad category, then alphabetical within the category. Averages are provided strictly by major field of study with no regard to the type of employer reporting the salary. Refer to this section when you want to know the starting salary for a graduate holding a degree in a specific discipline in a regional location, such as mechanical engineering majors hired in the West.

Projected Starting Salaries for Bachelor’s Degree Graduates

STEM graduates are expected to receive the highest starting salaries, according to results of NACE’s Job Outlook 2016

survey, which form the basis for the Winter 2016 Salary Survey report.

In addition, more than half of the employers responding to the Job Outlook 2016 survey noted plans to hire 2016 graduates with bachelor’s degrees in the STEM fields, making these grads among the mostly highly sought in the class. Bachelor’s degree graduates earning engineering degrees are expected to be the most highly paid. (See below.) Their overall average salary projection is $64,891, up 3 percent over the average salary projection of $62,998 for engineering graduates from the Class of 2015. (Note: All of the 15 reported individual engineering disciplines in this report have average salary projections that exceed $60,000, which may explain the high overall average.)

Projected Starting Salaries for the College Class of 2016

Average Salaries by Discipline | Bachelor’s Degree

Broad Category 2016 Average Salary Responses

Engineering $64,891 499

Computer Science $61,321 205

Math & Sciences $55,087 83

Business $52,236 619

Agriculture & Natural Resources $48,729 24

Healthcare $48,712 11

Communications $47,047 76

Social Sciences $46,585 69

Humanities $46,065 46

Education $34,891 13

The computer sciences fields are second in terms of starting salary, with an overall average starting salary projected at $61,321. Two of the three reported computer science disciplines also top the $60,000 mark, while the third—information science and systems—falls just below that mark at $59,810.

Degrees in math and sciences are also in high demand by employers; overall, graduates in these fields are expected to average $55,087.

Business majors land in the fourth spot in terms of starting salaries, but are most sought-after by employers taking part in the Job Outlook 2016 survey; more than three-quarters of respondents identified business majors as on their list of Class of 2016 majors to hire. Within the business disciplines, management information systems majors, (sometimes also considered a STEM degree) have the highest average projected starting salary of the group at $56,846.

Among those earning communications degrees, the average salary projection is $47,047, down 5 percent from last year’s projection ($49,395). Driving that drop: All four of the majors reported for this field are projected to attract lower salaries than was the case last year. Advertising majors are expected to experience the sharpest drop; their average salary is projected at $47,500, down from $51,769.

(8)

$46,585, down from last year’s projection of $49,047. Within the social sciences, economics majors are expected to earn the highest average starting salary ($49,271). That’s down slightly from last year’s projected average ($50,832). Humanities majors, however, are projected to see a slight increase: Their projected average salary stands at $46,065, up from $45,042. Data are limited for these graduates, but employers in finance, insurance, and real estate appear to be most interested.

Overall, education majors are expected to average $34,891. Unfortunately, there were not enough data available last year to make a comparison to the current projection possible.

Projected Starting Salaries for Master’s Degree Candidates

Engineering graduates are also projected to be the highest-paid at the master’s degree level for the Class of 2016. The average overall salary projection for the group is $73,871. (See below.)

Average Salaries by Discipline | Master’s Degree

Business $71,663 221

Computer science graduates land just after engineering majors, with an overall average salary projection of $72,080—about 1 percent higher than last year’s projected average of $71,140 for the Class of 2015. Business majors earning master’s degrees are also seeing a higher average salary projection this year, which is up 5.5 percent from last year’s average of $67,890 to $71,663.

The projected average salaries for both communications and social science majors are down some. The average projected for 2016 communications majors at the master’s degree level is $55,727 (compared to $59,130 projected for 2015 master’s degree grads); among social sciences majors, the average salary is projected at 52,333, down from $54,816. However, it is important to keep in mind that data are limited for both groups.

(9)

At the doctoral degree level, data are also limited, but computer science majors are projected to pull in the highest overall salary—$101,324. (See below.) That’s an 8 percent increase over the projection for 2015 computer science graduates at this degree level.

Average Salaries by Discipline | Doctoral Degree

Business $74,459 3

In terms of salary increases, all four of the categories reported here for doctoral degrees are projected to see increases.

UPCOMING SALARY REPORTS

Watch for updating hiring projections for the Class of 2016 in the Job Outlook 2016 Spring Update—coming in April.

Starting Salary Data for the Class of 2016: Preliminary, actual starting salary data for the Class of 2016 will be published in the Fall 2016 issue of Salary Survey. Data—representing actual starting salaries—will be early results gathered through NACE’s Class of 2016 First-Destination Survey. Final starting salary data, again representing actual salary salaries gathered through the Class of 2016 First-Destination Survey, will be published in the Spring 2017 issue of Salary Survey.

Final Starting Salary Data for the Class of 2015: Featuring actual starting salaries for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree level graduates of the Class of 2015, the Spring 2016 Salary Survey will be based on data derived from colleges and universities participating in the Class of 2015 First-Destination Survey and is the final report on starting salaries for the class.
