The University of Massachusetts dominated the list of state employees who made more than $100,000 last year, with 49 of the top 50 spots held by doctors, administrators, and coaches.

At $784,468, the top 2012 salary ­belonged to Michael F. Collins, who holds dual roles in the university, as chancellor of the medical school and ­senior vice president for health sciences at the university. He was also the state’s highest paid employee in 2011.

For the second year in a row, the number two salary went to Terence R. Flotte, the medical school’s dean, who was paid $712,041.

Typically, UMass employees, particularly those at the medical school, are heavily represented in the top-earner brackets.

Overall, nearly 7,700 state employees across a variety of departments earned $100,000 or more, up from about 6,900 employees in 2011. In total, the state employs about 100,000 full- and part-time workers.

Governor Deval Patrick, who earns $139,832, could not even crack the top 1,500. He was clustered in with State Police officers, professors, and a dentist.

Of those making more than $100,000, about 2,500 were UMass employ­ees. The State Police had nearly 1,600 earning six figures. The list does not include quasi-public agencies such as the Massachusetts Port Authority.

Two UMass coaches were also high on the list: basketball coach Derek ­Kellogg, at $628,624, and football coach Charles Molnar, at $401,250.
