Management Information Systems and Services at Miami University-Oxford

Miami University-Oxford's MIS program launches graduates into solidly rewarding careers, with first-year earnings of $72,045 ranking in the 92nd percentile nationally—well above the $59,490 typical for this degree. The debt load of roughly $26,000 translates to a very manageable 0.36 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning graduates earn back their full debt burden in less than five months of work. Four years out, earnings climb to $86,413, a healthy 20% increase that suggests strong career progression.

The state context provides useful nuance. While these graduates significantly outperform the national field, they sit in the middle of the pack among Ohio's MIS programs at the 60th percentile. That's largely because Ohio has several strong competitors: Ohio State matches Miami's outcomes at $72,017, and several University of Dayton grads pull ahead at just under $70,000. Still, Miami delivers better-than-median results for Ohio while maintaining admission rates that make it accessible to most serious applicants.

For families weighing in-state options, this represents a reliable choice—not the absolute top earner in Ohio, but consistently above the state median of $68,154 with debt that won't create financial strain. The combination of strong national standing and reasonable accessibility makes this a sensible program for students interested in technology-adjacent business roles.
