Career evidence
Baruch publishes a 2024–25 MSIS employment report covering 156 graduates with outcomes reported for 117 (75%); salary data is much thinner at 12% of reporters, so the $95,571 mean and $85,000 median need a strong caveat. Pace reports school-wide Seidenberg outcomes—96% employed/continuing/service and a $96,569 average salary for master’s graduates—rather than an MSIS-only cohort.
