Management Information Systems and Services at The University of Texas at San Antonio

UTSA's MIS program delivers something noteworthy: it outperforms 60% of Texas programs in the same field, despite serving a more economically diverse student body (42% on Pell grants). First-year graduates earn $58,123, climbing to $74,047 by year four—a 27% jump that suggests employers increasingly value the skills these students develop. While the program lands near the national median, that state-level advantage matters for families likely choosing between Texas schools.

The debt picture looks reasonable at $23,119, translating to a 0.40 ratio against first-year earnings. That's manageable territory, especially given the strong earnings trajectory. The gap to elite Texas programs like UT Austin ($86,622) and Texas A&M ($71,032) is real but narrows as graduates gain experience. By year four, UTSA grads are earning solidly within the range you'd expect from a respected state university MIS program.

For families weighing cost against opportunity, this program makes sense: accessible admission standards, moderate debt, and earnings that accelerate meaningfully post-graduation. The combination of strong earnings growth and below-average debt relative to income suggests graduates aren't just landing jobs—they're building careers with room for advancement.
