The Master of Public Health (MPH) and Master of Science (M.S.) in Health Informatics and Analytics (HIA) dual degree program allows students to develop as public health practitioners who are grounded in data science and health analytics. Enrolled students earn both a MPH and a M.S. in Health Informatics and Analytics (HIA) degree typically with a concentration in Health Services Outcomes.
Typically for the MPH, students complete 5 core courses (15 credit hours), an applied learning experience, or internship (3 credit hours), as well as 6 required courses related to one of the MPH concentrations (18 credit hours): Community Health Practice, Health Policy, Physical Activity and Nutrition, or Epidemiology.
For the M.S. in HIA, students complete 2 foundational courses (6 credit hours), 4 core courses (12 credit hours), 3 selective courses (9 credit hours), 2 restricted elective courses (6 credit hours), and a culminating experience (3 credit hours).
For students completing the MPH with a concentration in Epidemiology, 12 credit hours are shared in the dual degree program. These students earn the dual degree in 60, instead of 81, credit hours. Students enrolled in other MPH concentrations complete the dual degree in 63 credit hours, with 9 shared credit hours.
