GRADUATING STUDENT SURVEY

June 2015 Survey Results

MIT Global Education and Career Development (GECD) is pleased to provide the results of the MIT Class of 2015 Graduating Student Survey, providing information about the immediate post-graduation plans of all MIT baccalaureate and master’s degree graduates from the Class of 2015. There were 1,470 respondents to the survey, representing 64.2 percent of the graduating class (Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates). This report represents a collaborative effort between this office and Institutional Research. I particularly want to thank Deborah Liverman, Director for Career Services, for her leadership of this survey. MIT’s Class of 2015 found a very robust job market, with 92 percent of job-seeking baccalaureate and 84 percent of master’s graduates reporting acceptance of a job within three months of graduation. MIT graduates continue to outperform the national average in their employment outcomes. Highlights of our survey of the MIT Class of 2015 are presented below.

• There were 58 percent of baccalaureate and 82 percent of master’s graduates who planned to enter the workforce immediately following graduation, representing a slight increase for both groups over last year. Nearly 33 percent of baccalaureate and 11 percent of master’s graduates planned to attend graduate or professional school. This represents a slight increase in immediate graduate school attendance from the prior year.

• Career fairs, on-campus recruiting, and networking continue to be primary sources of employment for both groups, with nearly one-third of respondents reporting job acceptances through these activities.

• Internships that led to a job offer represented the second highest sources of employment for baccalaureate degree holders.

• The top industries for graduating seniors were computer software, consulting, and engineering, which has remained consistent since 2012. Consulting was still the top industry for master’s degree recipients, with computer software and engineering rounding out the top three industries.

• The average salary for undergraduates was $83,455, an 11 percent increase from the $74,980 average from 2014. Master’s graduates (SM, MEng, MBA, and Sloan Fellows) received an average salary of $133,067, an increase of 28 percent over the prior year. It’s important to review the report for the breakdown of master’s salaries by type as well as the average salaries by industry. Some explanations for the large increases are due to higher response rates for this question and an increase in acceptances in Northern California.

The full report follows, providing a broad snapshot of the professional and education destinations for the MIT Class of 2015. We welcome any comments or suggestions from the MIT community and our employer partners regarding ways that we may improve our survey process or reporting. Thank you! Sincerely, Melanie Parker Executive Director, Global Education and Career Development

Welcome to the 2015 Annual Graduating Student Survey Preview Report. We are releasing the full report to allow for the MIT community and partners to view information about the MIT Graduates. Please take a moment to learn more about the survey and the data we collect and present. PURPOSE: The purpose of the Graduating Student Survey (GSS) is to promote an accurate understanding of the immediate post-graduation plans of graduating MIT students and to provide data for related career issues. Data for our PhD graduates is presented in a separate format and available at http://gecd.mit.edu/resources/survey-data METHOD: The GSS is a completely voluntary web-based survey. The survey was emailed as a link multiple times throughout the late spring, summer through fall in an effort to capture as much of the graduating student population as possible. Altogether, 74% of Graduating Senior and 57% Graduating Masters candidates from MIT participated in the June 2015 Survey. RESULTS: All data are self-reported and presented anonymously in aggregate form. Due to the variety and various levels of MIT degrees granted, the majority of statistics presented are related to specific subsets of the population (e.g. Bachelors, Masters, major, etc.) and are labeled accordingly. This is done to provide more meaningful and accurate data. Any data not labeled should be assumed to represent the entire sample. The majority of results are presented in table format for ease of reading and comparison. Many tables contain empty cells. This is for two reasons; first, not all majors offer all types of degrees, and second, fewer than two students from that major and degree level responded to the survey question. The remainder of this report presents the data that we collect and analyze. We highly recommend that you start with pages 4-6, which highlight our most common requests for outcome information. Any questions about the survey and results can be directed to Deborah Liverman, [email protected].
