Salaries for architecture professors

Jefferson

Can anyone comment on the general range of pay for full time (full school year) professors teaching design studio, architectural history or CAD/Revit?

My strong hunch is that many faculty are not full-time.  May I amend the request to include pay for part-timers?

  • $$$ per year (OP's request)?
  • $$ per term (semester/quarter)?
  • $ per unit/credit?

Waiting here with considerable interest...

Oh dear. We don't talk about that on here. 

The truth is all architecture professors PAY to get the privilege to shape young minds. Uphill. Both ways. 

Yes, there's lots of snow involved.

Well, I got $4500 to teach one lecture course, one day a week, 2.5 hours, graduate level, I'm a registered architect, 15 week semester (I think).

No idea what full-timers make or studio professors, but since I'm about to teach a studio (graduate) this term I'll let you know.

All of those categories vary. Studio faculty are generally paid less than lecture, seminar, or history faculty, or work longer hours for the same per-course rate. Additional education, publications, experience, and license all matter. The reputation of the school matters as well - sometimes. For a fully qualified entry level instructor (MArch, three years of practice, eligible for license), the going rate in the upper Midwest is about $4k per course, or about $65 per contact hour. I'm told it is less in NYC, and more at the large state universities.

it is almost pointless to talk about full time faculty -- there were less than a dozen new tenure track lines this past year. In the past though, assistant and associate professors were frequently paid at or below the minimum at most schools, and full professors a little above the institutional minimum.

For state schools, if you know where to look, everyone's salary is public info..

Adjuncts generally do not make as much as someone on tenure track, who make less than someone with tenure.

As a general rule of thumb, for an adjunct,  take an entry level teaching position, let's use a nice round number of $40,000 (this number will be your variable from school to school).

Divide that by 2 for one semester... = $20,000

Divide that by a normal teaching load's credit hours (9)...=  $2,222

Multiply that by the number of credit hours for the course(s) you've been asked to teach and you have your answer.
