How these numbers work: A major does not have its own salary. Early and mid-career pay is what people who hold this degree earn at the start of their careers and midway through them. Career pay comes from the 9 careers a Management Information Systems degree commonly leads to, and counts everyone in those jobs, including people who have been doing them for thirty years. The two answer different questions, which is why they do not match.
The New York Fed does not report Management Information Systems on its own. Its early and mid-career figures here are for Information Systems & Management, the broader group it places this major in.
7 of 9 careers this degree leads to are projected to grow faster than average from 2024 to 2034. Of those, Computer Systems Analyst has the most openings, about 34,200 a year.
