Information Science/Studies at Rasmussen University-Wisconsin

Rasmussen's Information Science program posts starting salaries 25% above the Wisconsin median for this field—noteworthy performance that places graduates at $64,329 versus the state's typical $51,582. Equally important, they're achieving this while keeping debt nearly $5,000 below the state median. For families weighing private versus public options in Wisconsin, this program actually outearns UW-Milwaukee grads in the same field while carrying less debt burden.

The 0.35 debt-to-earnings ratio translates to manageable monthly payments—graduates earning this much would typically allocate around $250-300 monthly to federal student loans on a standard 10-year plan. With more than half of students receiving Pell grants, Rasmussen appears to be delivering genuine economic mobility for working-class Wisconsin families who might otherwise struggle to access tech-adjacent careers.

The major caveat: this data comes from fewer than 30 graduates, so individual outcomes could vary significantly from these medians. A small cohort also means one or two outliers can skew numbers substantially. Still, for a parent comparing concrete options in Wisconsin's information science landscape, Rasmussen is currently producing results that justify serious consideration—particularly if location flexibility or accelerated timelines matter to your family.
