Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
As mentioned by an earlier MIS major, this school does not provide the education and tools necessary to be successful in the IT/IS profession. Most MIS and CS students I have spoken with admit they do not feel they have the qualifications required to pursue a successful career in IT, and plan to take courses outside of the university in order to "catch up". If I was not already working in the field as a professional developer and had prior experience, I would be at a loss. It's embarassing to meet with recruiters as most will automatically asume a graduate of OSU does NOT have the required knowledge and will tend to put the candidate on the back burner or offer a very low entry level position. Most classes were taught by under-qualified graduate students, most who cannot clearly speak english. Although a very select few were willing to help the students, most were too busy with individual research to devote appropriate time to instruction. Testing is a joke. It is a test of puzzle solving and straight memorization. MIS is a field of hands-on application, of which very little hands on training is offered. If you're into athletics, this is your school. If you're looking for an education, consider going elsewhere. Paying out-of-state tuition may even be worth your while.
