Salary and Debt by Major at Auburn University

We calculated a Salary Score for each of Auburn University's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Auburn University to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

I attained a degree in Industrial Design. I put my best effort in but I do not feel like I received a good education. I think I got a far better education from my community college with a lame Liberal Arts Degree, but at least they taught me something. I am not saying all the teachers at Auburn are bad, but I recommend not going for an Industrial design degree. It’s a 100% all on you, and they do not meet you half way. They get paid good money to teach and 80% of INDD teachers do not teach any valuable information.... Read More

Do not, I repeat DO NOT use your GI Bill for flight training here if you're a veteran. Myself and several others had a horrendous flight training experience here utilizing the Post 911 GI Bill.

There are hundreds of flight students here training at the same time, stretching instructor schedules thin and only offering 3 day... Read More
