MS AND PhD PROGRAMS
Three programs of study are offered, under the administration of the
Graduate School. These
lead to the doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree or two types of master
of science (M.S.) degrees; Plan A, requiring a thesis; and Plan B,
which substitutes additional course work and research reports for
the thesis. The Plan B is the more frequently chosen master's program.
The research - oriented Plan A is designed and recommended only for
students with special backgrounds and career objectives, such as those
who have already earned a doctorate or health professional degree.
A number of classes are offered for graduate credit by the Health
Informatics graduate program each year. These courses are taught by the graduate faculty members of the Health Informatics program.
All students are encouraged to discuss and explore research possibilities
with their academic advisors
as well as other faculty members. Faculty research interests are
outlined on the Faculty pages.
