Program Analysis

Graduates earn $65,128/yr, edging above the $59,611 national average for Management Information Systems and Services — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 12.7x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.

AI risk is moderate — 73% task exposure — and the 23% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $26,000 in median debt against $65,128 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #54 out of 153 programs, Oakland University's Management Information Systems and Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $65,128 to $85,514 shows 31% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
