Our curriculum coincides with our existing Computer Science programs with specialized health informatics and health information management coursework. The framework is guided by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM), the preeminent accrediting body for graduate health informatics and information management education.

Our program has been developed into three tracks, each specifically designed to focus on the needs of today's healthcare settings.

• Health Information Management: Health Data Science - This track focuses on biomedical data analytics and applications. Students will learn best practices in utilizing health care and public health data to improve health outcomes in individuals and communities. Areas covered include data analysis and data science methods, processes, and tools for Big Data; machine learning; statistical data analysis and inference; spatiotemporal and signal analytics; text mining; data/reference terminologies; and data collection, storage, and administration models.

• Health Informatics: Intelligent Health Systems - This track focuses on smart and connected health information systems analysis, design, implementation, and management. Areas covered include digital health; telemedicine; decision support systems and cognitive systems; artificial intelligence in medicine; smart health; mobile health; and healthcare quality assurance.

• Health Informatics Professional - This track focuses on a more business management and administration approach to health informatics with electives selected from our award-winning MBA programs. Students will take courses such as organizational management to prepare for the application of business principles to health informatics.
