Computer and Information Sciences at Tiffin University

Tiffin University's computer science program delivers first-year earnings of $62,718, outperforming 80% of Ohio programs in the field—an impressive showing for a school with an 80% admission rate and modest selectivity. While the debt figure of $25,860 is estimated from comparable programs nationally (the graduate cohort here was too small for the Department of Education to publish actual figures), that ratio would yield a manageable 0.41 debt-to-earnings, well within the safe zone for tech careers.

The standout here is the Ohio comparison. Most state programs produce median earnings around $49,837, nearly $13,000 less than what Tiffin graduates appear to earn. Even against flagships like Ohio State ($82,448) or Cincinnati ($69,548), Tiffin holds its own, suggesting the school may have strong employer relationships or a curriculum aligned with in-demand skills. The national picture is solid too—right at the median for computer science programs nationwide.

For a parent, the key question is whether those estimated debt figures hold for your child specifically. If actual borrowing stays in that $25,000-$26,000 range, this looks like a smart bet: competitive earnings, lower than many Ohio peers on debt, and outcomes that punch above the school's selectivity profile. Just verify the typical debt load directly with Tiffin's financial aid office before committing.
