Why Choose This Health Informatics Program?
A pathway choice between an accredited HIM bachelor’s and a combined route into informatics.
Choosing a pathway. Students aiming for the RHIA can take the BS alone; those who want an informatics master’s too can use the BS/MS to move straight into graduate study.
The trade-offs. Tuition is not published, and the master’s is not CAHIIM-accredited.
