Teacher Salaries: State by State

Updated: Aug 2

One of the best parts about being at a private university such as Brigham Young University is that we have students who come from all over! In fact, all 50 states are represented in the student demographics at BYU.


We know that many of you will be leaving the state of Utah after getting your degree. So, we want to show you what the average salary looks like in your state. Please keep in mind that this data has been taken over a long period of time meaning that your state may or may not be slowly rising in salary.
