Informatics to Change Health Care For the Better
At Heinz College, we apply data analytics principles to challenges across industries. Our Master of Science in Health Care Analytics (MSHCA) graduate degree program brings these tools to bear against the thorniest problems in health care.
The program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to transform health care. This interdisciplinary program blends health care, information technology, and data analytics to improve patient outcomes and streamline health care operations. Students will learn to manage and analyze health data, implement health information systems, and lead projects that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of health care delivery. Graduates will be prepared to work in hospitals, research institutions, public health organizations, and the health care technology industry.
Data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data mining are more than buzz words at Carnegie Mellon. Many of these techniques were born here, and 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.
How are our students, alumni and faculty revolutionizing health care?
