Dual Master of Healthcare Administration and Master of Science in Information Science (MHA-MSIS)

The UNC School of Information and Library Science (SILS) partners with several other UNC-Chapel Hill schools, as well as North Carolina State University, to offer students the opportunity to pursue two degrees simultaneously. Many students find this approach offers the knowledge, skills, and integrated perspective needed to become competitive candidates and leading professionals in their targeted field.

The goal of the dual degree program is to maximize learning, minimize course and content overlap, and provide students with a means to earn two degrees as efficiently as possible while maintaining the integrity and high standards of each degree. Students can expect to complete both degrees in three academic years.
Professionals who understand the implications and potential for personal health information collection, electronics health records management, and other health informatics applications, as well as the needs of various patient and practitioner populations, will be eminently qualified to help humanity achieve high quality, accessible, and affordable health systems.
