A master’s degree is the most common credential for health informatics careers in analytics, clinical systems, interoperability, and health IT leadership. Programs range from technical biomedical informatics degrees built around programming and data science to management-focused health informatics and HIM degrees, and many can be completed online in about two years.
The directory below lists the master’s programs we have verified from each school’s official sources. Filter by state, program type, online availability, or CAHIIM accreditation. Schools with a full profile on this site link to it.

How to Read the Table
- Type: Health Informatics programs center on health IT systems, data, and management. HIM programs center on information governance, coding, compliance, and HIM leadership. Biomedical Informatics programs are more technical and research-oriented. Health Data Science programs emphasize statistics, programming, and machine learning.
- CAHIIM: The Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education accredits health informatics and HIM master’s programs. “Candidacy” means a program has applied but is not yet accredited. A CAHIIM-accredited HIM master’s qualifies graduates for the RHIA exam.
- Format: “Mostly Online” means online coursework with a small number of required campus visits or scheduled live sessions.
- Practicum or Capstone: Whether the degree requires supervised work in a health care setting, a project, or a thesis. Hours are shown when the school publishes them.
Choosing a Health Informatics Master’s
Decide How Technical You Want to Be
Biomedical informatics and health data science degrees usually require programming, statistics, and sometimes a thesis, and they suit students headed for analytics, data engineering, or research. Health informatics and HIM degrees put more weight on systems, governance, workflow, and leadership.
Weigh Applied Experience
Students without health care or IT jobs benefit most from a required practicum or internship, which gives them documented experience before graduating. Programs with only a capstone or thesis fit students already working in the field.
Check Accreditation and Certification Goals
CAHIIM accreditation matters most for HIM careers and the RHIA. For the AMIA Health Informatics Certification, a master’s in health informatics or a related field counts toward eligibility alongside work experience.
Look Past the Residency Label
Many online master’s programs charge one rate in every state, and some public universities add only a small surcharge for nonresidents. Program fees can add a meaningful amount to the per-credit rate, so compare totals with fees included.
