Management Information Systems and Services at Albertus Magnus College

Albertus Magnus's MIS program produces first-year earnings nearly $12,000 below Connecticut's median for this field—a significant gap in a state where most competing programs cluster in the low-to-mid $60s. While the debt load of $29,688 remains manageable relative to starting salary (58% ratio), graduates here earn less than peers at public alternatives like Central Connecticut State ($65,486) while taking on similar debt burdens.

The small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these numbers could shift dramatically year to year, but the pattern is concerning: this program ranks in just the 25th percentile statewide and 22nd nationally for earnings. For context, nearby Western Connecticut State—another public option—produces comparable first-year earnings of $50,443, likely at a fraction of Albertus Magnus's tuition cost. The program does serve a notably high-need population (47% Pell recipients), which may explain some of the earnings gap, but families paying private tuition deserve stronger outcomes.

Unless this school offers unique advantages like location, class size, or networking opportunities that matter specifically to your student, the earnings data suggests better value elsewhere. The public universities in Connecticut's system deliver $10,000-$15,000 higher starting salaries in this field—a difference that compounds significantly over a career.
