Management Information Systems and Services at Flagler College

When nearly 80% of applicants gain admission to Flagler College, families might expect an accessible path to tech careers—but the estimated numbers here suggest caution. Based on comparable MIS programs across Florida, graduates might expect around $56,000 in first-year earnings with roughly $27,000 in debt. That 0.47 debt-to-earnings ratio sits above the Florida median ($21,000 debt) for this field, meaning you'd be paying more for middle-of-the-pack outcomes.

The context matters: Florida State and Florida Tech graduates in similar programs report earnings exceeding $65,000—nearly $10,000 more annually than what peer institutions suggest for Flagler's program. At the state median salary level, that estimated debt load becomes more burdensome than it would at a stronger-earning program. MIS nationwide commands a $59,500 median, so the Florida market isn't inherently weaker, which raises questions about whether Flagler's career services or employer connections match what larger state universities offer.

For families weighing private college tuition against outcomes, the investment here looks questionable. You're likely facing higher debt than the typical Florida MIS graduate while aiming for earnings that merely match the state average. Unless Flagler offers something specific—location preferences, smaller class sizes that matter to your student—the state's flagship programs deliver better financial value in this field.
