Management Information Systems and Services at Andrews University

Michigan's MIS programs typically produce graduates earning in the low-to-mid $60,000s, and Andrews appears positioned right in that cluster. With estimated first-year earnings around $63,000 and debt near $26,500, the financial fundamentals look reasonable—you'd be paying back roughly 40 cents for every dollar earned in that first year, which is manageable for a tech-adjacent field with steady demand.

What's harder to assess is Andrews' specific track record. The top MIS programs in Michigan—Central Michigan, U-M Dearborn, Oakland—report outcomes in the $65,000-$68,000 range, suggesting there's a ceiling effect in the state market. Andrews' estimates place it competitively within this range, but without actual graduate data from this program, you're making an investment based on what similar Michigan programs deliver rather than proven outcomes from this particular school.

The debt load is slightly higher than the national median for MIS programs ($24,000), though it aligns with Michigan norms. Given the field's strong job market and the reasonable debt-to-earnings ratio, this looks like a defensible choice—but only if your child is committed to the MIS career path. If there's uncertainty about the major, consider programs with actual reported outcomes where you can see exactly what graduates from that specific school are achieving.
