Career evidence
Northeastern’s current MSIS program page states that the program has had 100% success in job placement and lists employers such as IBM, Oracle and Microsoft. The page does not attach a graduating class, placement window, denominator or knowledge/response rate to that headline statement, so MSITM.com records it as a school-published career claim rather than treating it as directly comparable with cohort reports that disclose methodology.
