Career outcomes
Rutgers publishes employment counts rather than a current salary statistic for MITA. For 2023–24, it reports 11 of 14 May graduates and 45 of 55 January graduates currently employed in the U.S. The career page also lists recent roles such as data engineer, data scientist, technical product manager, business analyst and software engineer at employers including Amazon, Mastercard, KPMG, IBM and Verizon. Because the page does not define these counts as a standardized six-month placement rate, MSITM.com preserves the underlying counts instead of converting them into a comparable placement percentage.
