Overview
The Informatics Certificate Program is an interdisciplinary certificate that allows students to gain a broad background in core Informatics. Students also acquire specialized knowledge in clinical/nursing informatics, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, public health informatics, and data science. Plans of study can be individualized.
Plan of Study
A minimum of fifteen hours of course credits is needed for a certificate.
Standard course prerequisite requirements will be followed as with degree-seeking students. Students must earn at least a B- in each course in order to receive credit for the certificate. A faculty advisor will be assigned to each student to guide them in selecting courses that best meet their needs.
Upon completion, students will receive a transcripted graduate certificate.
