Career outcomes
Berkeley’s 2024 MIMS Career Report covers 65 graduates and reports a $125,000 median salary. The report states that 49.23% of graduates responded to the career-outcomes survey, so MSITM.com carries that response-rate caveat with the salary statistic.
External ranking signals
- Eduniversal 2026: UC Berkeley’s Master of Information Management and Systems is #3 in the U.S. Information Systems Management ranking and is an exact program match. Eduniversal U.S. ISM ranking.
- U.S. News April 2026: Berkeley Haas is #11 in graduate-business Information Systems, but MIMS is housed in the School of Information. MSITM.com therefore treats #11 as a different-unit university signal, not a rank of MIMS. Official Haas ranking announcement.
