Following are the results of the twenty-second annual BEA national salary survey conducted in Fall, 2014.  Respondents encompassed all types of institutions ranging from small, private, 4-year liberal arts colleges to major public universities offering the doctorate in the field.

 

Please note the following:

 

1. All salaries are base salaries — they do not reflect fringe benefits.

 

2. All have been adjusted to an academic year (9/10 mos.) basis.

 

3. Only faculty teaching electronic media courses are included.

 

4. The survey includes only full-time faculty — both temporary/fixed-term and tenure-track.
