This year’s survey includes for the first time data about the existence of online and hybrid master’s programs, and about the size of startup packages for new assistant professors. We also obtained more fine-grained information about teaching faculty and about the previous position held by new faculty hires. This year’s survey also included questions asked only every three years, about such matters as teaching loads, space, support staff, recruitment incentives and reasons for salary differential among grad students, and sources of external research funding.
