Class of 2030: the hiring decline may start before you graduate
AI already handles entry-level work such as requirements documents, ERP configuration, SQL, and dashboards, and hiring of business analysts has frozen. No procurement rules require a human project manager and employment is at will, so only project and vendor management lag slightly behind.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.

Management Information Systems (MIS / CIS): how AI affects graduate hiring

Management information systems usually starts in a business-analyst seat writing requirements documents and SQL queries, exactly the drafting AI now does directly. YOU'RE NEXT dates the hiring freeze on those seats to around 2027, among the earliest majors we track.

What MIS entry-level work does AI already produce?

A requirements document, an ERP configuration step, a SQL query, and the dashboard built from it are all things AI now drafts directly, work that used to be a business analyst's whole job. With employment at will and no procurement rule requiring a person in that seat, a company doesn't need any special reason to freeze that hiring.

Why does project management lag behind analyst work here?

Business-analyst and data-analyst jobs are judged to feel pressure earliest, since both are built directly on the requirements-writing and querying AI already does well. IT-project-manager and IT-consultant roles are judged to hold on a bit longer, because coordinating a vendor and a rollout schedule still calls for a person making judgment calls, not just a document.

What should an MIS student build besides SQL skills?

Get fast at reviewing an AI-generated SQL query or dashboard for correctness rather than writing every line yourself, since that review is becoming the real entry-level job. Pair that with project- and vendor-coordination experience, since managing a rollout in person lags behind pure analyst work.
