Compensation Outlook
The Department of Military Science is unique in that it publishes the salaries of its active-duty graduates. Military compensation (salary) includes pay and non-taxable allowances for subsistence and housing. Although the housing allowance varies by location, the average annual military salary earned by a new second lieutenant graduate in 2010 was $48,000. Salaries are adjusted for cost of living each year and also increase with longevity and promotions. Three years later, the officer, then a captain, would earn an average annual military salary of $74,000.
