Welcome to the CAREER INFORMATION FROM THE 2014 EARNED DOCTORATE SURVEY.

We have taken career related information from the Earned Doctorate Survey and published this in a brief report for the MIT community and partners. In 2009, we began using the Earned Doctorate Survey to collect destination information for all PhDs. Employer and salary information about PhDs, prior to 2009, can be found in the Graduating Student Survey, http://gecd.mit.edu/resources/data. A special thanks to Jake Livengood and Katie Mulroy who worked on this report. Any questions about the survey and results can be directed to Deborah Liverman, liverman@mit.edu.

ABOUT THE EARNED DOCTORATE SURVEY

The Earned Doctorate Survey is administered by Institutional Research, Office of the Provost at MIT. All information about the Earned Doctorate, including purpose, method, format, and past reports can be found on the Intuitional Research Earned Doctorate Survey Information webpage, http://web.mit.edu/ir/surveys/docexit.html.
