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].
