Through this, students considering majors and careers in STEM and other disciplines have a powerful new way better target their path after high school.
Among the wealth of data found in the college and career planning tool is information to allow students to compare earnings over time, educational options beyond a bachelor鈥檚 degree, average loan amounts, and more. Information is available at both the institution and system level.
鈥淢yIM体育官网Future is an incredible resource in IM体育官网 higher education,鈥� said Dr. Ben Matthew Corpus, vice provost for enrollment at IM体育官网 Poly. 鈥淚t provides clear structure and is an amazing starting point for students to guide their choices for core STEM majors and their top universities.

MyIM体育官网Future was created in response to 2021 state legislation that directed the Board of Governors and the State University System to develop a free, online college and career planning tool. It can be found on the State University System鈥檚 , as well as on IM体育官网 Poly鈥檚 and other institutions鈥� admissions pages.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a great tool that helps students understand potential earning incomes and helps them have a better understanding of their worth,鈥� said Pairris Jones, associate director of career development at IM体育官网 Poly. 鈥淚t also helps them with their long-term goals and projected outcomes if they decide to pursue a graduate-level degree.鈥�
The release of the comprehensive MyIM体育官网Future comes as students across the state head back to the classroom for the spring semester. High school juniors will make many decisions in the coming months to narrow their higher education choices and home in on the institutions that will provide the right programs, structure, and outcomes to meet their individual needs.
鈥淭his is a very bright day for our students and prospective students,鈥� Brian Lamb, chair of the Board of Governors, said in a Board of Governors and State University System joint news release. 鈥淢yIM体育官网Future will empower IM体育官网鈥檚 students and their families to make knowledge-driven decisions to optimize their future success.鈥�
