Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management at Indiana Wesleyan University-National & Global

Indiana Wesleyan's National & Global campus produces IT administrators who earn above-average salaries with manageable debt loads. First-year graduates earn $46,541—beating the national median by $4,800 and placing this program in the 74th percentile nationally. The debt picture looks equally solid: at $24,250, graduates borrow just slightly more than the national median while earning significantly more, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.52 (meaning debt equals about half of first-year salary). That's a reasonable burden that most graduates can handle.

The earnings trajectory strengthens the case. Four years out, median pay rises to $53,546—a 15% increase that suggests solid career progression in IT management roles. Within Indiana, this program essentially ties for the top spot among associate's degree offerings in this field, matching the main Marion campus and slightly outperforming Purdue Global. For a program serving nearly half Pell-eligible students, these outcomes demonstrate effective workforce preparation.

The numbers point to a straightforward value proposition: graduates leave with marketable skills, competitive starting salaries, and debt they can reasonably manage on an IT administrator's income. For families seeking an affordable entry point into technology careers, this program delivers what it promises.
