ABSTRACT
This report is part of an annual national survey that
examines salaries of full-time teaching faculty in 54 selected disciplines.
Data for the study as a whole were collected from 305 public and 403 private
institutions for the baseline year of 1997-1998 and the trend year of
1999-2000. This portion of the study covers salary data for the faculty in
Architecture and related programs at 47 public and 19 private institutions
with comparable numbers for the earlier study. Data are presented for average
salaries by faculty rank, "faculty mix percent" (percentage of faculty at
each rank), and "salary factors" (ratio of the average salary in the

discipline to the total institution average) .
compared for public and private institutions for each of the two study
periods with trend information for all fields and with the Consumer Price
Index. The study found that for the 2000-2001 period the average salary of
$60,003 for 697 faculty in public institutions was 5.8% higher than the
average salary for all faculty in all major fields. The average salary
increase was 1.0% per year for public institutions and 6.8% per year for
private institutions above the cost of living as measured by the Consumer
Price Index. Appendixes contain a list of the selected academic disciplines
and lists of public and private institutions participating in both studies.

Since 1982-83 the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources
(CUPA-HR) in Washington, D.C., in cooperation with Appalachian State University in Boone, NC,
have conducted annual national faculty salary surveys by discipline and rank each year through 2000-
01. Two separate surveys are conducted each year, one for public senior colleges and universities and
the other for private senior colleges and universities.
Salary data from the 1997-98 and 2000-01 surveys were collected and tabulated for full-time
teaching faculty in 54 selected academic disciplines/major fields chosen from among those defined
by A Classification of Instructional Programs, 1990.
Each of the 54 academic disciplines/major fields presents a summary of the overall average
salary increase in that academic discipline/major field from the "baseline year" of 1997-98 to, and
including, the "trend year" of 2000-01 for both public and private participating institutions. Of the
371 public institutions which participated in CUPA-HR's public survey of 1997-98, 305 also
participated in the 2000-01 survey. Data from those same 305 institutions were used in both the
baseline year and the trend year studies. Of the 543 institutions which participated in CUPA-HR's
private survey of 1997-98, 403 also participated in the 2000-01 survey. Data from those same 403
institutions were used in both the baseline year and the trend year studies.
In addition to listing the average salaries in Architecture and Related Programs for both
public and private participating institutions by rank, including "new assistant professor," and listing
the faculty mix percentage (FAC MIX PCT) and the salary factor, comparisons are made between
the two public surveys and the two private surveys for each of the two study years (1997-98 and
2000-01) and with the CPI (Consumer Price Index) of changes in the cost-of-living.
The list of all 54 selected academic disciplines/major fields surveyed, including Architecture
and Related Programs, is found in Appendix A, and the list of all participating senior colleges and
universities are found in Appendix B (public) and C (private) of this article.
