Curriculum

Our undergraduate Health Informatics (HI) curriculum focuses on health care data science. Prepare to gain valuable skills in:

  • Applied Informatics
  • Cyber Security
  • Privacy and Security
  • Data Visualization
  • Data Analytics
  • Medical Coding/CDI
  • Leadership
  • Quality Management

Most of our HI courses are only offered once per academic year. If a student fails to successfully complete a course, the student must retake the course the next academic year. This may prevent the student from registering for advanced-level courses and delay their graduation date.
