Management Information Systems and Services at Ohio University-Zanesville Campus

Ohio University-Zanesville's MIS program graduates earn $68,154 in their first year—well above the national median of $59,490 and matching Ohio's statewide median. The program ranks in the 77th percentile nationally, putting it in the top quarter of MIS programs nationwide. That's solid performance, especially considering these graduates carry just $26,000 in debt, creating a favorable 0.38 debt-to-earnings ratio. Within Ohio's competitive MIS landscape, this program performs respectably, landing at the 60th percentile and matching the earnings of several other Ohio University campuses.

The earnings trajectory tells a reassuring story: graduates see a 12% increase to $76,246 by year four, suggesting employers value the skills these graduates bring. This growth pattern, combined with the manageable debt load, means most graduates should comfortably handle their loan payments while building career momentum. The program's strong sample size of 100+ graduates adds confidence to these figures—this isn't a fluke year.

For parents weighing options, this represents a practical choice: your child would earn roughly $9,000 more annually than the typical MIS graduate nationally, while avoiding excessive debt. While it doesn't quite match the earnings at Miami or Ohio State (both around $72,000), the performance gap is modest, and regional campus students often benefit from lower overall costs of attendance. The combination of above-average starting salaries, steady earnings growth, and reasonable debt makes this a financially sound path into the tech sector.
