Health Information Degree

The Health Informatics stream leads to a Bachelor of Science (3-year) or a Bachelor of Arts (3-year). The Health Informatics (HI) stream provides students with more focused courses in Health information needs, infrastructure, standards, and jurisdiction. The HI stream complements offerings of the ACS department, and gives students flexibility of combining all three areas of IT, Business, and Health.
