Notes:
- We do not determine whether a graduate's reported job title is related to his or her degree. To remove bias, and in accordance with NACE guidelines, if a graduate reports he or she is working full-time, their salary is included.
- That said, we exclude salaries below the federal poverty level under the assumption that such salaries are for jobs that are not related to a baccalaureate degree. This is also in accordance with NACE guidelines.
- We only share aggregate data. "Not available" means that not enough salaries were reported to come up with an aggregate figure.
- Figures reflect base salary only and do not include bonuses, commissions, fringe benefits, or overtime rates.
