Management Information Systems and Services at Ohio University-Eastern Campus

Ohio University-Eastern's MIS program punches well above its weight, with graduates earning $68,154 in their first year—placing them in the 77th percentile nationally for this degree. That's nearly $9,000 more than the typical MIS graduate nationwide, and graduates carry a manageable $26,000 in debt. The 0.38 debt-to-earnings ratio means students can realistically pay off their loans in less than five months of gross income, which is quite favorable.

The program holds its own within Ohio's competitive MIS landscape, matching the state median and landing graduates within striking distance of what Ohio State and Miami University grads earn. While it ranks at the 60th percentile among Ohio programs, the absolute earnings difference is modest—just $4,000 less than the top programs in the state. By year four, earnings climb to over $76,000, showing solid career progression. For a regional campus, these outcomes are particularly impressive and suggest strong employer connections in the region.

For families looking at Ohio's public university system, this represents solid value. Your child would graduate with below-average debt while earning above-average income, and the robust sample size of 100+ graduates confirms these aren't outlier results. The program delivers the technical skills employers need without the price tag of Ohio's flagship campuses.
