Which Oklahoma Program May Fit You Best?
For the RHIA
SWOSU‘s online BS and 39-credit MS are both CAHIIM-accredited. Residents pay $310 per graduate credit, and the master’s can be paired with an MBA.
For Registered Nurses
NSU‘s online informatics MSN includes 200 precepted practicum hours and admits RNs without a BSN through a non-traditional pathway. A 12-credit nursing informatics certificate uses the same four informatics courses.

How to Compare Oklahoma Health Informatics Programs
Decide first between the RHIA route at SWOSU and the nursing route at NSU. Then check residency: NSU charges nearly the same online rate to all students, while SWOSU lists no separate online rate, so nonresidents may pay about twice the resident price.
