*Information on some majors is not available because surveys were not returned or insufficient information was provided.
Information The office of Career Services collects salary data from students who are graduating with a bachelor’s degree. How do we collect the data? A link to the survey is emailed at the time of graduation. Three months after graduation, if the survey has not been returned, a paper survey is mailed. Recent grads are contacted by phone in a final attempt to collect salary data. How do we use the salary data? Salary ranges in potential careers are often considered as important information by students as they choose a major. Although salary should be only one of many considerations, the GSS provides the data on Wichita State graduates specifically rather than as aggregate information at the state or national level. We also provide salary information upon request to employers who want to make fair and competitive offers to WSU graduates. Additionally, the various colleges request the information as part of their accreditation process. All information provided by graduates is confidential. Information is used strictly for statistical purposes. The latest salary information was gathered from those graduating in August '12, December '12, and May '13.
