The Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics and Analytics (HIA) is designed to introduce individuals to the core concepts of data management and analysis in healthcare. The certificate requires 15 credit hours of coursework and demonstration of competence through several non-credit activities. Courses leading to the Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics and Analytics are delivered in face-to-face formats.
The certificate may be pursued concurrently with a related graduate degree program at UNC Charlotte. This Graduate Certificate represents the first part of the Master’s program in Health Informatics and Analytics (HIA M.S.); thus, allowing students who want to continue their studies a smooth transition into the HIA M.S. program. Students may apply all of the credits earned in the HIA certificate towards the M.S. in Health Informatics and Analytics degree.
Students transitioning to other master’s programs at UNC Charlotte should contact that program’s director to determine which and how many courses might be applicable to that program. Students concurrently pursuing another degree can double count a maximum of 9 credit hours toward both this certificate and the other degree. However, transfer credit cannot be applied to this certificate program.
