Northeastern University is now offering the Master of Science in Health Informatics (MS in HI) in both an on-campus format and online format for working professionals who wish to maintain personal and professional life commitments while earning a degree.

The MS in HI was developed in response to the critical shortage in health informatics professionals in New England and the nation. This program draws on the technical expertise from the College of Computer and Information Science, as well as from the knowledge and practices of health professionals from the Bouvé College of Health Sciences.

Improving our healthcare system increasingly requires the integration of innovative technology into the day to day care of individual patients. Leaders in this effort will need to have knowledge across the disciplines of health sciences and information technology.

The online MS in HI brings together the expertise of Northeastern's Bouvé College of Health Sciences and the College of Computer and Information Science in an interdisciplinary program to educate these future leaders. Our students come together from backgrounds in healthcare or technology to exchange ideas and learn from faculty and each other. Program faculty are all senior leaders in the field who bring both academic rigor and real-world learning to the classroom.

We are committed to educating students to use healthcare technology to make a real difference in the lives of patients.
