Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management at Arizona State University Campus Immersion

ASU's Computer/Information Technology Administration program produces graduates earning nearly $62,000 within a year—about $4,000 above the national median for this degree. That's solid performance from Arizona's largest public university, placing graduates in the 65th percentile nationally. Within Arizona, this program essentially sets the benchmark, matching the state median and outperforming University of Phoenix by about $1,600 annually.

The debt picture requires some perspective. At $32,375, graduates carry more than the national median ($27,000) but not dramatically so. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.52 means students are borrowing roughly half a year's salary—manageable territory for a tech-focused degree that opens doors to steady IT management roles. ASU's 90% admission rate and 30% Pell grant population suggest this program successfully serves a broad range of students, not just the highest achievers.

The practical reality: This program delivers what parents should want from a state flagship—reliable outcomes at scale. Your child won't graduate at the top of the national earnings distribution, but they'll enter the workforce earning more than most peers with this degree, with debt that won't dominate their financial lives. For Arizona families especially, where ASU represents the in-state option, this program justifies the investment with consistently above-average results.
