Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses BGSU's school-wide net price (no college reports it by major) and this major's graduate earnings.
| Family income | Net price / yr | Cost to finish | Years to pay back |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0–30k | $18,396 | $78,183 | 1.6 years |

| $110k+ | $27,414 | $116,510 | 2.4 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.3 years, the average time graduates took (49% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Management Information Systems graduates 4 years after graduating ($84,838) minus $35,438 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in OH (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $49,400 a year.

Management Information Systems at Ohio colleges
Every Ohio college we cover that reports Management Information Systems graduate earnings, highest first. Net price is the school-wide average after grants. Colleges marked "mostly 2-year" or "bachelor's & associate" award more associate degrees than bachelor's; their bachelor's programs often serve working adults finishing a degree (for example, nurses completing a BSN), so their graduates' earnings can run higher than those of students starting college at 18.
