Information Science/Studies at Bowling Green State University-Main Campus

Bowling Green's Information Science program sits comfortably in the middle of Ohio's offerings, with first-year earnings of $60,359 ranking in the 60th percentile statewide. That's about $3,000 more than the state median and notably ahead of larger programs at Toledo and Xavier. While it doesn't match Cincinnati's impressive $68,864, the difference matters less than you might think when you consider total cost of attendance—Cincinnati's higher tuition could easily eat into that earnings advantage for out-of-state families.

The debt picture looks reasonable at $25,564, translating to a 0.42 debt-to-earnings ratio that's well within the manageable range. This means your child would owe about five months' salary, which should be comfortable to repay on an information science income. The program performs right at national medians for both earnings and debt, suggesting it delivers what you'd expect from a solid state university without surprises in either direction.

For Ohio families weighing in-state options, Bowling Green represents a safe bet—not the highest-earning program in the state, but competitive enough that the choice should come down to fit and total cost rather than employment outcomes. The 81% admission rate means most qualified applicants can access this pathway to a stable technology career.
