Why Choose This Health Informatics Program?
A cost verdict for students who want analytics-heavy informatics at public rates.
Cost verdict. At about $9,200 in-state, the master’s costs less than ECU‘s $10,800 in-state MS, though ECU’s is CAHIIM-accredited.
The trade-offs. Only four of the ten courses are health-specific, and the degree is not CAHIIM-accredited.
Accreditation
UNCG’s informatics and analytics master’s and mathematics bachelor’s are not CAHIIM-accredited, and UNCG makes no CAHIIM claim for them.
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is institutionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
Check the AMIA Health Informatics Certification eligibility rules for non-accredited master’s pathways.
