GRADUATING STUDENT SURVEY
2010 Survey Results
1
MIT Global Education and Career Development (GECD) is pleased to provide the results of the MIT Class of 2010 Graduating Student Survey, providing information about the immediate post-graduation plans of all MIT baccalaureate and master’s degree graduates from the Class of 2010. The 2010 Doctoral Student Exit Survey collects doctoral graduate employment data and the report is located at http://web.mit.edu/ir/surveys/DocExit_2010_Overall.pdf . One thousand four hundred and sixty-eight of the 1,914 undergraduate and master’s graduates responded, representing 76.7 percent of the graduating class. This report represents a collaborative effort between this office and Institutional Research. I particularly want to thank Deborah Liverman, Associate Director for Career Services, for her leadership of this survey. MIT’s Class of 2010 faced one of the worst job markets in a generation, with unemployment rates for college graduates and non-graduates younger than 25 nearly double pre-recession levels (EPI Briefing Paper, 2010). Despite these challenges, MIT graduates continued to outperform the national average in their employment outcomes. Highlights of our survey of the MIT Class of 2010 are presented below.
• Nearly half of baccalaureate and 75 percent of master’s graduates planned to enter the workforce immediately following graduation. Forty percent of baccalaureate and 15 percent of master’s graduates planned to attend graduate or professional school. This represents a significant increase in graduates entering the workforce with an accompanying decline in immediate graduate school attendance.
• At the time of graduation, 76.6 percent of graduating seniors and 71.5 percent of master’s graduates had accepted employment.
• On-campus recruiting continues to be a primary source of employment as reported by 42 percent of baccalaureate and 31 percent of master’s degree recipients.
• Networking and internships that led to a job offer represented the next highest methods for baccalaureate degree holders, while master’s degree recipients identified networking and other means as their next highest methods.
• Eighty percent of undergraduates and 89 percent of Master’s students indicated that their position was related to their academic major, significantly higher than the Class of 2009. The top industries for graduates were consulting, computer software and finance, continuing in the same order from last year.
• The average salary for undergraduates was $64,523, a 4.1 percent decrease from the $67,270 average for 2009 graduates. Nearly all other degree levels saw an increase over the prior year.
The full report follows, providing a broad snapshot of the professional and education destinations for the MIT Class of 2010. We welcome any comments or suggestions from the MIT community regarding ways that we may improve our survey process or reporting. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Melanie Parker, Executive Director

Welcome to the 2010 Annual Graduating Student Survey Report. 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 due to a new survey instrument. METHOD: The GSS is a completely voluntary web-based survey. The survey was emailed as a link multiple times throughout the late spring and summer in an effort to capture as much of the graduating student population as possible. Altogether, 709 Undergraduates (82%) and 759 Masters (73%) June 2010 graduating MIT students participated in the 2010 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., undergraduate, 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 the Frequently Asked Questions on pages 3 and 4, which highlight our most common requests for information. The GECDC Data Committee, Deborah Liverman Colin D. Smith Kathryn Somers Laura Wilkinson
