Computer and Information Sciences and Support Services at Indiana Institute of Technology-College of Professional Studies

Four years out, graduates of this program earn a median $67,750—a figure that suggests solid career progression in Indiana's tech sector, where comparable bachelor's programs typically start around $62,000. With estimated first-year earnings of $57,631 based on similar programs nationwide, this tracks slightly below Indiana's state median for the field, though the gap closes substantially by year four.

The $29,700 in median debt sits at the national midpoint for computer science bachelor's degrees, translating to monthly payments around $330 over ten years. Against that $67,750 four-year salary, this debt burden appears manageable. What's harder to assess is whether Indiana Tech's specific program delivers the same starting salary trajectory as peer institutions—the first-year estimate comes from a small national sample, not Indiana Tech's own graduates. If actual starting salaries lag the state median by more than a few thousand dollars, the value proposition weakens considerably in a state where Indiana University-Indianapolis graduates are entering the market at higher starting points.

The stronger four-year earnings suggest either solid career services or that graduates who stick with tech roles advance well. For families, the key question is whether your student will land that crucial first job at competitive pay—something this data can't confirm but that conversations with current students and the career services office should help clarify.
