Career evidence
NJIT’s current Business & Information Systems materials identify employers in technology, healthcare and financial services—including Prudential, Verizon, Deloitte, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Citi—but do not publish a current MSBIS-specific cohort placement rate or starting-salary statistic. MSITM.com therefore treats this as employer-market evidence rather than a quantified outcome.
