University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture Employment Report 2012 - 2014
THE UTSOA INFLUENCE With multiple nationally ranked programs, award winning faculty and staff, and a vision that combines intellectual curiousity and ambition with professional practice, it is no wonder that UT School of Architecture students are highly sought after upon graduation. The School of Architecture surveys alumni six months after completion of their degree. In 2013, 89% of survey respondents who sought to enter the professional world reported finding employment in the months after completing their degree; 4.5% chose to pursue graduate studies. This number grew even higher this past year, as 96% of survey respondents who sought employment after graduation reported finding a job in 2014; 4% opted to pursue additional academic work. Please read on for the School of Architecture’s 2012 - 2014 Employment Report. While maintaining individual confidentiality, the report is divided by program and includes the following information: employer name, position title, and geographic location. A salary breakdown is included at the end of each report for programs where adequate data was received. Firms or organizations employing multiple graduates from the same program are identified by an asterisk.
