Health Informatics for Better Equity, Access and Outcomes


Master of Science in Health Care Analytics

Data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence are more than buzz words at Carnegie Mellon University. Many of these techniques were born here, and in our Master of Science in Health Care Analytics (MSHCA) program, our curriculum links these technologies to the sprawling and evolving health care landscape, giving you skills that will set you apart in the job market.

Heinz College is the #1 graduate school for analytics education. Our students learn how to convert raw data into actionable solutions for complex problems facing health care systems and medical firms, as well as build the next generation of health technologies. But even more importantly: Heinz College will empower you to use advanced tech and data to change the future of health care.
