Abstract
This article reports a salary survey of communication arts and sciences programs during the 1982 to 1983 academic year. It examines faculty salary ranges, beginning assistant professor salaries, and terminal degree expectations across areas such as broadcasting, mass communication, communication and rhetoric, speech pathology and audiology, and theatre. The article compares salaries by faculty rank, institutional type, institutional size, and degree programs offered. It also situates communication faculty salaries in relation to broader higher education salary patterns and earlier salary information in the discipline. The findings indicate general salary growth since the prior survey, while noting variation by institutional setting, program level, rank, and academic area. The article provides administrative data useful for communication administration, departmental leadership, faculty hiring, and salary planning.
