PayScale Rankings for UC Irvine in Various Majors

 

Here we present a table for UC Irvine PayScale rankings in several majors for 2014-2015, and UCIs ranking among California Colleges.  We also include the Early Career salaries for 0 to 5 years past the undergraduate degree, and the Mid-Career salaries for 10 or more years past their degree.

UC Irvine ranked in the top 10 nationwide in most of the majors in which they were listed on PayScale.  UCI also ranked 9th among California schools for all students.

Of course, rankings are not a good linear scale to display what can be rather minor differences between Mid-Career salaries, which is why we include the salaries themselves for a better comparison.  There also is a vast range of career years covered in the one number of Mid-Career of 10 or more years.  Nevertheless, people quote rankings, so we include them also.
