Don’t Know About Management Information Systems? Employers Do!
Again and again students tell me that they WOULD have chosen Saunders College’s MIS program for their major if only they knew more about it. Here is more fuel for the fire…
The new NACE salary survey is just released and again shows the demand for MIS, as they are among the BEST PAID graduates across all majors on a campus:
“NACE’s Winter 2010 Salary Survey shows that engineering disciplines account for eight of the 10 most highly paid degrees….The only non-engineering related degrees in the top 10 were computer science and information sciences and systems. ”
“As a group, graduates earning computer-related degrees saw their average salary offer soar in comparison to the other disciplines: Their average offer rose 5.8 percent to $58,746.”
