Why Choose This Health Informatics Program?
Most useful for adult learners who do better with one subject at a time and a rolling start.
Pacing. Four-week single-course terms suit students who find juggling several classes hard.
Cost verdict. The price is high for a bachelor’s, so it makes the most sense for students bringing substantial transfer credit or aid. By comparison, the CAHIIM-accredited HIM bachelor’s degrees at FAMU and UCF cost Florida residents about $21,500 to $23,300 for 120 credits.
Outcomes. Keiser’s online campus reports a 100% certification exam pass rate in 2023 and 100% graduation for 2022 to 2024, but retention ran 66.7% to 76.8%, and the report does not name the exam.
Accreditation
CAHIIM accredits Keiser’s BS in Health Information Management, with its next review in 2031-2032. Keiser says accreditation was reaffirmed through 2031.
Keiser University is institutionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
Graduates of CAHIIM-accredited HIM bachelor’s programs are eligible for AHIMA’s Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) exam.
