AAUP Faculty Salary Survey

Search eight years of average faculty salaries arranged by academic rank at more than 1,400 colleges, universities, and multicampus systems, or at institutions that do not have academic ranks. (Note: In some states, no such institutions were included in this survey.)


ABOUT THESE DATA

The salaries are reported in thousands of dollars and are rounded to the nearest hundred. They are adjusted to a nine-month work year. The figures cover full-time members of each institution's instructional staff, except those in medical schools.

The designations I, IIA, IIB, III, and IV are defined in the rating table, which gives the percentile distributions of salaries for each academic rank.

For 2001-2, and later years, a dash (--) appears whenever an institution has fewer than three faculty members in a given rank. For 1999-2000 and 2000-1 data, a dash appears whenever an institution has fewer than six faculty members in a given rank. A blank space indicates that the institution has no faculty members in that rank. The tables omit footnotes qualifying the information reported by some institutions. The figures were compiled by the American Association of University Professors.

SOME TIPS ON SEARCHING

Enter words or phrases in the keyword search box. This query will look for the exact word(s) within the institution name field in this database.

Unlike some search engines, this one does not accommodate Boolean terms to search for words in separate categories. For example, if you enter the search string "California and Davis" in the keyword box, the search engine will not produce a list of organizations in California that contain "Davis" in their name.

These figures were compiled by the American Association of University Professors.
