Management Information Systems and Services at Post University

Post University's MIS program starts strong with first-year earnings of $63,383—above both the national and Connecticut medians—but then takes an unusual turn. By year four, earnings drop to $58,502, an 8% decline that's worth understanding. This isn't necessarily a red flag; it could reflect career pivots, further education, or job transitions common in tech fields. What matters more is whether students can manage their debt load during that adjustment period.

At $27,137, the debt is reasonable and sits at just 43% of first-year earnings, well below concerning thresholds. The program ranks solidly in the 60th percentile among Connecticut's eight MIS programs, trailing Central Connecticut and Quinnipiac but outperforming half the field. For a school serving primarily Pell-eligible students (73%), these outcomes suggest effective career preparation despite the earnings dip.

The practical question: Can your child service this debt on $58,000-63,000? For most graduates, yes. Federal loan payments on $27,000 typically run $300-400 monthly—manageable on these salaries. The earnings decline bears watching, but the starting salary provides a cushion, and the overall debt-to-earnings picture remains healthy. This program delivers competitive access to MIS careers at a price point that won't burden graduates.
