Health Analytics B.S.
Analytics is the new frontier for health care organizations. Analytics offers the opportunity to identify areas of performance that can be improved, both in terms of the quality and cost of care. The mission of the health analytics program is to prepare students with the skills, knowledge and ethics necessary to work in a variety of health service organizations. The program prepares students to analyze large sets of health-related data from a variety of sources, and to effectively communicate those findings to diverse audiences.
Health analytics helps healthcare organizations convert massive amounts of information into usable, data driven intelligence. Qualified professionals in this field must work well as individuals and as members of a team. They must possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, as well as analytic ability. They must also understand healthcare systems and their management.
Admission and internal transfers into this program has been paused for the 2022-2023 academic year.
