Master of Science in Health Informatics

Identifying problems and crafting solutions using biomedical data—while never forgetting patients’ needs—is what we’re all about.The Master of Science in Health Informatics degree integrates health care, health information technology, informatics, and many other fields. Our students learn to analyze and protect patient data, and to improve the quality of medical care and make it more efficient. The Master of Science in Health Informatics offered through the IU School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM) and approved by the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA).Our 36-credit-hour program equips students to examine how patients use their health care information, and to the build the tools that make it easier to manage unstructured data and extract useful information. By learning how to appropriately utilize natural language processing and other tools, our graduates can improve clinical decision support, electronic health records management, and patient privacy. You’ll complete your health informatics master’s degree with either a thesis or a project, which provides a practical solution to a health information problem.
