GRADUATING STUDENT SURVEY

June 2016 Survey Results

MIT Global Education and Career Development (GECD) is pleased to provide the results of the MIT Class of 2016

Graduating Student Survey, providing information about the immediate post-graduation plans of MIT baccalaureate and

master’s degree graduates from the Class of 2016.

There were 1,384 respondents to the survey, representing 62 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 2016 found a

very robust job market, with 87 percent of job-seeking baccalaureate and 83 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 52 percent of baccalaureate and 80 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. This is the second year that immediate graduate attendance rates grew for graduating seniors, with a four

percent increase over the prior year.

• The primary sources of employment overall were on-campus recruiting, networking, and internships leading to

full-time employment; however the sources differed between groups. Graduating seniors reported that career

fairs, followed by internships, networking and on-campus recruiting were their primary sources of employment.

Master’s graduates reported on-campus recruiting, followed by networking and internships as their primary

sources. For the second year, internships that led to a job offer continue to be the second 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 investment banking rounding out the top three industries. Additionally, there was

approximately a 3 percent increase in graduates reporting work at a start-up company.

• The average salary for undergraduates was $84,882, a slight increase from the average $84,455 from 2015.

Master’s graduates (SM, MEng, MBA, and Sloan Fellows) received an average salary of $127,212. 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

2016. 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 2016 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, 64% of Graduating Senior and 60% Graduating Masters candidates from

MIT participated in the June 2016 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].
