Hi, I'm curious about the average starting salaries for different majors at Cornell. Does anyone have any data on this or know where I can find it? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! You can find information on average starting salaries by major at Cornell on their Career Services website. They publish annual reports called "Postgraduate Reports," which provide data on graduate outcomes, including starting salaries, for each of their undergraduate colleges. The reports are divided by their respective colleges and provide statistics on career placement, graduate school prospects, and salary ranges.
To access these reports, go to the Cornell Career Services website (careerservices.cornell.edu) and navigate to "Postgraduate Data & Reports" under the Resources tab in the main menu. Once you're on that page, you'll be able to find the most recent reports for each college within Cornell. Remember that the salaries provided are only a snapshot and can vary depending on a range of factors, including job location and the specific position secured by each graduate.
As a word of caution, be mindful that just because a major has a higher average starting salary, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best choice for you. It's important to find a major that aligns with your interests, abilities, and long-term goals, as this will ultimately lead to greater success and satisfaction in your career. Good luck with your research!
