The program is also ideal for nurses looking to transition from bedside care to using their clinical knowledge to discover innovative ways to implement technology within a health care organization.

The certificate program also provides those without a clinical background with the knowledge they need to get started in the field of health informatics.

The certificate requires 15 s.h. as follows:

Core - 6 s.h.

Electives - 9 s.h.

Select courses in a focused area of study in consultation with the program coordinator from the below:

Certificate students may transfer credits to other graduate programs but acceptance into the certificate program does not guarantee acceptance to other graduate programs.
