Career evidence
FIU’s current MSIS page identifies graduate roles such as CIO, CISO, IT director, information-security administrator, business analyst and IT project manager, but it does not publish a current MSIS graduating-cohort placement rate or starting-salary statistic on the program page. MSITM.com therefore treats the role evidence as career-path context rather than a quantified outcome.
