What is the difference in job opportunities for Computer Sciences and MIS Majors?
Both majors have excellent career opportunities. Most students who work with their respective placement centers have job offers before they graduate. MIS majors have the highest average salary offers of any business majors (over $54,000) and the Computer Science average is even higher. MIS majors are most likely to go into positions in information services for companies or consulting, while CS majors are most likely to go into manufacturing support systems and product development for computer companies. Over 60% of the MIS majors each year accept offers with consulting firms, a much rarer starting position for Computer Science majors. Retailers, insurance, and communications firms also hire MIS majors through the Career Services Office.
