Master of Science in Healthcare Informatics

Looking to expand your analytical skills after graduation? Bryant offers a STEM-designated Master of Science in Healthcare Informatics program that will take you deeper into the optimization of healthcare data. By pursuing a master’s degree, you can maximize your career growth and earning potential and stand out from the competition.

About This Program

Today’s rapidly growing field of healthcare informatics needs creative thinkers who can turn data into strategic solutions. Through Bryant’s integrated curriculum, you’ll gain foundational knowledge in the health sciences, mathematics, data science, and information systems — preparing you to tackle complex problems in the field. You’ll learn how to:

Effectively collect, use, and analyze health data and information.
Describe the current challenges in healthcare and how human behavior plays a role in individual and community health.
Apply analytical and mathematical strategies that enhance operational efficiencies.
Communicate with industry leaders and stakeholders through data visualization and data storytelling.
Develop innovative solutions that will contribute to a healthier global population and more cost-effective healthcare services.

As a Healthcare Informatics major, you’ll put your knowledge into practice through either a senior internship or data science capstone project. Gain professional work experience at a local healthcare organization and receive ongoing supervision from a faculty member, or complete a capstone project on a topic of your choosing that solves a real-word problem in the field of healthcare. Through either opportunity, you’ll demonstrate how healthcare data is collected, processed, and analyzed to make strategic decisions and improve the delivery of care.
