A Spring 2011 Salary Survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) show that the average salary offer to all Class of 2011 graduates now stands at $50,462, which is up 5.9 percent over the overall average of $47,673 to Class of 2010 graduates.

Among the college Class of 2011, engineering dominates the list of top-paid majors, according to NACE’s Spring 2011 Salary Survey. 

Survey results indicate that engineering majors account for seven of the top 10 spots on the list. In fact, the only non-engineering major among the top-five highest-paid is computer science ($63,017), which is second on the list. (See Figure 1.)

That four of the top five top-paid majors are engineering and all received average starting salary offers in excess of $60,000 strongly indicates the continued high demand for these graduates. Furthermore, the entire top-10 list underscores the interest employers have in hiring technical majors.
