Management Information Systems and Services at University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus

At nearly $71,000 in first-year earnings, University of Oklahoma's MIS program outperforms 87% of similar programs nationally—impressive for a school with a 77% admission rate. More importantly for Oklahoma families, graduates here earn about $14,500 more than the state median for MIS programs, placing them in the 80th percentile statewide. Only University of Tulsa's MIS graduates earn more in Oklahoma, and OU achieves this with debt ($19,375) that's $5,400 below the national median. That 0.27 debt-to-earnings ratio means graduates carry less than four months' salary in loans—a comfortable starting point.

The trajectory stays solid through year four, with earnings growing to $82,000. While Tulsa graduates start slightly higher, OU's combination of strong earnings, manageable debt, and lower tuition (particularly for in-state students) delivers compelling value. The robust sample size of 100+ graduates confirms these aren't outlier results.

For Oklahoma families weighing MIS programs, this represents one of the state's best options. You're getting outcomes that compete nationally while paying state-school prices, and your graduate enters the workforce with debt they can realistically handle on a first-year tech salary.
