External ranking signal
U.S. News Information Systems specialty (April 2026): #58. The ranking applies to Auburn’s Harbert College of Business and is closely aligned with the MSIS. See the full crosswalk.
Career evidence
Auburn’s MSIS page provides access to Harbert Graduate Career Services, employer relations and professional-development support. Harbert reports that 86% of its graduate-business graduates accepted offers within three months in 2023, but that figure spans graduate business programs and is not MSIS-specific. MSITM.com therefore treats it as school-level context rather than a direct MSIS placement result.
