5 Highest-Paying Career Options for PhDs in Computer Science

For those working toward earning their Doctorate in Computer Science , it isn’t uncommon to have questions regarding career paths. Some of these questions include, “Can I get the kind of job I want in computer science following graduation?” “What are my job options?” “What is a doctorate in computer science salary?” “Is a computer science PhD worth it?” Let’s look at five careers with a PhD in Computer Science to help answer some of these questions.

1. Computer Scientist

According to  Northeastern University , the average salary of a computer scientist is between $81,000 and $154,000 with a median salary of $113,180. Their primary responsibilities include the development of an organization’s computer-based tools. Development, depending on the company where they find employment, could be anything from developing algorithms to improve efficiency or designing databases. Therefore, it’s critical for a computer scientist to know C++, Java, Python, SQL, XML, or other program languages.

2. Computer Systems Engineer

The  Bureau of Labor and Statistics  states that the average median pay in 2017 was between $88,270 annually with an hourly rate of $44.20. A computer systems engineer, also known as a computer systems analyst or system architect, studies a company or organization’s procedures and computer systems. Then, it’s their responsibility to help the business operate more effectively and efficiently using their design solutions.

3. Computer Science Professor

According to the crowd-sourced salary website Payscale , the average salary to become a computer science professor is $84,769. It depends, however, in which state the graduation would like to teach. Computer science professors place focus on the understanding of the computational processes of computers, as well as their design. Professors also work with students of computer engineering, information technology, and other allied fields.

4. Computer Network Architect

According to  O*Net OnLine , a Computer Network Architect earns $50.31 hourly and $104,650 annually. Their primary employment responsibilities include the maintenance of computer networks to enhance user access and performance. They must also perform research to gain information about processes or products, as well as develop models or specifications for computer networks or communication systems.

5. Research and Development

According to  ComputerScience.org , the average salary for those working in research and development is approximately $113,190. Every year, this salary continues to increase. This job is also referred to as a computer science researcher and translates a PhD to industry quite well. Just about every industry needs people working in computer research and development including security, software development, academia, the government, and more.

Final Thoughts

For those wondering if computer science PhD worth it, after looking at the doctorate in computer science salary for each of the careers here, it’s possible to see that translating a PhD to industry is a lucrative decision. The first step in any career decision, however, is for the graduate to conduct research regarding interests and long-term objectives. By doing this, the reality of obtaining a career in the computer science field following graduation doesn’t have to be a dream. Graduates can achieve their goals, and they can get the job in computer science they want.

Career Guide: Explore the Computer Scientist Salary and Job Outlook in 2024

Technology permeates almost every aspect of our lives, as reflected in the burgeoning computing job market. McKinsey reports that tech-related job postings increased by 15% between 2021 and 2022; the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects 377,500 job postings per year in the sector over the next decade, significantly faster than the average employment growth rate across all occupations. 

Computer scientists work in varied fields, including research, programming, network architecture, systems management, software engineering and web development. As technology advances, entirely new job functions will likely emerge. 

Respected credentials can help tech job seekers stand out in today’s competitive employment market. The Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) helps students establish and bolster computing knowledge and skills, which is why many employers favor candidates with this graduate degree. 

Stevens Institute of Technology offers a rigorous online M.S. in Computer Science program that teaches broad foundational computing skills to prepare students for multiple career opportunities and the lifelong learning they need to remain current in this fast-changing profession. Read on to learn about some top jobs for MSCS graduates.

Qualify for In-Demand Tech Jobs With a Master’s From Stevens

Tech job employment growth is outpacing the market average, computer scientist salary and other top-paying jobs in the field.

An MSCS can broaden your job options in fields and organizations. These roles pay well; according to PayScale, the 2024 average salary for a computer scientist with a master’s was $111,000. We’ve listed three high-paying computer science career paths below.

Computer and Information Research Scientist

Computer and information research scientists create innovative ways to utilize old and new computer technologies. They develop new computing languages and software systems, conduct experiments to test their work, and publish their research in peer-reviewed journals. These professionals earned $145,000 annually in 2022, with employment projected to grow by 23% over the next decade. 

Software Developer

Software developers create and improve the applications that enable computers to complete specific tasks. They research user needs and incorporate their findings into their designs, test and troubleshoot their new programs, and continue to improve their creations after they are published. Software developers earned a median income of $130,000 in 2023, with employment projected to grow by 25% between 2022 and 2032.

Information Security Analyst

Information security analysts plan and execute security operations for their organizations’ systems and networks. They police computer networks to detect and prevent security breaches, test systems for potential vulnerabilities, establish security standards and best practices, and research and recommend the latest developments in the field. This field should grow by 32% between 2022 and 2032; information security analysts earn a median income of $120,000 annually.

The Most In-Demand Computer Science Jobs

Computer science interacts with almost every aspect of our lives. Demand for computer scientists is accelerating; software development and information security both landed on the BLS’ list of fastest-growing occupations , U.S. News & World Report’s 100 best jobs and CIO’s 15 most in-demand tech jobs lists. 

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies may create entirely new career paths. The McKinsey Technology Trends Outlook 2023 lists applied AI, next-generation software development, cloud and edge computing, and trust architectures and digital identity among the hottest trending tech job postings .

Higher Degree, Higher Salary: How a Master’s Degree Boosts Earning Potential

Whether you’re an aspiring or experienced computer scientist, earning an advanced degree can improve your employment prospects and boost your income. According to the BLS, STEM professionals — including systems administrators, web developers and information security analysts — with master’s degrees typically earn higher annual incomes than their counterparts holding only bachelor’s degrees, with pay differentials ranging from 18 to 26%, depending on the field. 

Adding an MSCS to your resume could potentially make you a stand-out for specific roles (e.g. applications architect, IT director, big data engineer and data scientist). Some supervisory or managerial roles may even require a master’s degree. MSCS students can choose coursework that influences their career trajectory, including:

• Specific programming languages
• Advanced mobile systems and applications courses
• Specialized areas, e.g. machine learning

Earning a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from Stevens
