CS 4th Top-Paid Major Among Class of 2010

Good news for our computer science majors: according to a report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), CS majors graduating this year will be offered $61K a year. There are only three other majors, all engineering, that will be paid more. Of course CS majors working in Arkansas should expect slightly (significantly?) lower salaries.

MajorAverage Salary Offer
1. Petroleum Engineering$86,220
2. Chemical Engineering$65,142
3. Mining & Mineral Engineering (incl. geological)$64,552
4. Computer Science$61,205
5. Computer Engineering$60,879
