Management Information Systems and Services at Saint Norbert College

Based on comparable programs across Wisconsin, Saint Norbert's MIS degree appears positioned right at the state median, with estimated first-year earnings around $61,500. That's solid for the field—matching what other Wisconsin schools typically produce and slightly ahead of the national benchmark. The estimated debt load of $26,500 translates to a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.43, meaning graduates from similar programs can typically expect to owe less than half their first year's salary.

What's worth noting is the gap between Saint Norbert's estimated outcomes and what UW-Madison or UW-La Crosse graduates actually report earning (over $67,000). That $6,000-12,000 difference matters when you're comparing a private liberal arts college experience to public university alternatives—especially when those public schools often come with lower sticker prices. The suppressed data here makes it impossible to know whether Saint Norbert's smaller, more personalized program translates into better or worse outcomes than these estimates suggest.

The fundamentals look reasonable: MIS is a practical major with steady demand, and the debt picture isn't alarming. But given the uncertainty and the measurably stronger outcomes at several Wisconsin public universities, you'd want compelling non-financial reasons—campus culture, specific faculty connections, or fit—to choose Saint Norbert over those proven alternatives.
