Analysis
A Management Information Systems degree from Yeshiva University appears positioned near the middle of the pack financially, though the figures require some context. Based on four comparable MIS programs in New York, typical first-year earnings sit around $60,000—solidly in line with the $59,000 national median for this field. The estimated $26,500 in debt tracks slightly above national norms but remains manageable, yielding a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.44 that suggests borrowers could reasonably expect to service their loans.
What's missing here is crucial visibility into how Yeshiva's specific program performs against stronger competitors in the state. Binghamton's MIS graduates earn $82,000 in their first year—36% more than the state typical figure used here. Even RIT's outcomes at nearly $70,000 substantially outpace these estimates. Without knowing where Yeshiva actually falls within this wide range, families are making decisions with limited information. The school's selective profile (64% admission rate, 1410 average SAT, limited Pell enrollment) suggests it likely outperforms the bottom tier, but that's speculation.
The fundamental challenge is that you're considering a program without knowing its actual graduate outcomes. Before committing to roughly $27,000 in debt, contact Yeshiva's career services directly to ask about MIS-specific placement rates, starting salaries, and employer relationships. If they can't or won't provide concrete data on their graduates' outcomes, that silence itself tells you something important.

About This Data
Source: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard (October 2025 release)
Population: Graduates who received federal financial aid (Title IV grants or loans). At Yeshiva University, approximately 14% of students receive Pell grants. Students who did not receive federal aid are not included in these figures.
Earnings: Median earnings from IRS W-2 data for graduates who are employed and not enrolled in further education, measured 1 year after completion. Earnings are pre-tax and include wages, salaries, and self-employment income.
Debt: Median cumulative federal loan debt at graduation. Does not include private loans or Parent PLUS loans borrowed on behalf of students.
Estimated Earnings: Actual earnings data is not available for this program (typically due to privacy thresholds when fewer than 30 graduates reported earnings). The estimate shown is based on the median of 4 similar programs in NY. Actual outcomes may vary.
