College Professors - Wages & Trends

Wages for university and college teachers vary by the subject they teach. Many faculty have additional earnings from research, consulting, publications, or teaching extra classes.

Faculty in four-year institutions earn higher salaries, on average, than do those in two-year schools. Average faculty salaries in public institutions were lower than those in private schools. Faculty at religiously affiliated private colleges and universities have the lowest average salaries.

Salaries are also higher in fields with high-paying jobs outside the university. Schools pay teachers in these areas more to keep them from leaving the university for higher-paying jobs elsewhere. For example, teachers of law, business, engineering, and computer science earn higher salaries than teachers of education or English.

Most full-time faculty receive benefits. These include sick leave, health insurance, and a retirement plan. In addition, most faculty receive some unique benefits. They may have summers and school holidays off. They have access to campus facilities and tuition waivers for their dependents. They also receive travel allowances and paid sabbatical leaves. Part-time faculty usually receive fewer benefits.

Because teachers usually work a ten-month year, their wages are reported annually.
