Career Outcome Report

2019–Present: These data were collected during students’ final semester in the Master of Information (MI) program, before degree completion, providing an early snapshot of career outcomes. Many students were already employed in information-related positions while completing their degree.

Employment Outcomes

The results below show a strong connection between students’ areas of study and their employment outcomes. Full-time respondents are concentrated in the $41,000–$70,000 salary range, with additional respondents earning above $70,000. Because many respondents were still completing their degrees when the data were collected, these salary levels may increase following graduation. Part-time employment is primarily concentrated in positions paying under $30,000, and relatively few respondents reported working outside their field of study.
