The figures are based on the reports from 1,256 public and private colleges and universities. The figures are meant to provide a broad overview of salaries in higher education. A dash indicates insufficient data. Doctoral institutions are characterized by a significant level and breadth of activity in doctoral-level education; master’s institutions have diverse postbaccalaureate programs but are not engaged in significant doctoral-level education; baccalaureate colleges have primary emphasis on bachelor’s-level education; two-year institutions confer mostly associate degrees.
