GRADUATING STUDENT SURVEY

June 2017 Survey Results

MIT Global Education and Career Development (GECD) is pleased to provide the results of the MIT Class of 2017 Graduating Student Survey, providing information about the immediate post-graduation plans of MIT baccalaureate and master’s degree graduates from the Class of 2017. There were 1,382 respondents to the survey, representing 63 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 2017 found a very robust job market, with 89 percent of job-seeking baccalaureate and 82 percent of master’s graduates who sought employment reporting acceptance of a job within three months of graduation. Highlights of our survey of the MIT Class of 2016 are presented below.

• There were 55 percent of baccalaureate and 82 percent of master’s graduates who planned to enter the workforce immediately following graduation, representing a decrease for both groups over the prior year. Nearly 37 percent of baccalaureate and 11 percent of master’s graduates planned to attend graduate or professional school.

• The primary sources of employment overall were career fairs, on-campus recruiting, networking, and internships leading to full-time employment; however the sources differed between groups. Graduating seniors reported that internships, followed by career fairs, on-campus recruiting, and networking were their primary sources of employment. Master’s graduates reported networking, followed by on-campus recruiting and internships as their primary sources. This is the first year that internships that led to a job offer was the highest source of employment for graduating seniors.

• 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 financial services rounding out the top three industries. Additionally, there was a slight decrease in graduates reporting work at a start-up company.

• The average median salary for undergraduates was $88,381 a 4 percent increase from the average $84,882 from 2016. Master’s graduates (SM, MEng, MBA) received an average salary of $112,719. However specific breakdown of Master’s salary data is available in the report as well as the average salaries by industry.

The full report follows, providing a broad snapshot of the professional and education destinations for the MIT Class of 2017. 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 2017 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, 68% of Graduating Senior and 60% Graduating Masters candidates from MIT participated in the June 2017 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].
