Management Information Systems and Services at University of Toledo

In Ohio, Management Information Systems programs show solid earning potential, with peer programs suggesting first-year earnings around $68,000—notably above the national median of $59,500 for this field. The University of Toledo's program appears positioned right in the middle of the state pack, with comparable programs at Miami University and Ohio State producing graduates earning just a few thousand more annually.

The estimated $26,000 in debt creates a manageable 0.38 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning graduates would owe roughly five months of their first year's salary. This tracks with the state median and sits slightly above the national benchmark of $24,000, but remains workable for a field with decent starting salaries. The accessibility of Toledo (95% admission rate) combined with a relatively modest debt load makes this a financially practical path for students who might not get into Ohio State or Miami.

The caveat: these figures come from similar MIS programs statewide, not Toledo's actual graduates, so there's inherent uncertainty. If you're serious about Toledo, ask the department directly about where recent graduates landed jobs and what they're earning. The state's MIS market looks healthy enough that this could work out well, but you'll want confirmation that Toledo specifically delivers on that promise.
