Ethics play a crucial role in the program, and students will learn about the ethical considerations involved in handling and analyzing health data, ensuring that patient privacy and data security are always maintained. Graduates of the program will gain experience with relational database systems, data quality improvement, predictive analytics, and visual analytics, along with an introduction to working with big data.
