Mission

The mission of the MS in Health Informatics is to prepare students with the knowledge and skills in health information technology that will enable them to enhance the health care delivery system, increasing the quality and affordability of healthcare. We have mapped our curriculum and we are following CAHIIM competencies.

Program Description

The Master of Science in Health Informatics degree program provides an interdisciplinary study of the design, development, adoption, and application of IT-based innovations in healthcare services, delivery, management, and planning. Marshall University’s Health Informatics program is the only of its kind in West Virginia. It’s ranked #14 Best Master’s in Health Informatics Degree Programs of 2025 and #1 in affordability.

Students enter the field of Health Informatics because it combines healthcare and technology; Health Informatics appeals to clinicians and technicians interested in the intersections of healthcare and technology. Further, Health Informatics is part of the burgeoning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field and qualifies as a STEM-designated degree program by the US Department of Homeland Security. In this way, the Health Informatics degree at Marshall is ideal for students wishing to work in value-based environments and is beneficial for international students trying to extend their OPT status. Students can work at Hospitals/clinics, information systems companies, government agencies, and insurance companies as data analytics, application developers, project managers, and chief information officers. Please have a look at the program’s brochure.

Alumnus speaks on his experience with the HIN program.
This degree program also participates in the Health Science and Technology Academy (HSTA) tuition waiver program for West Virginia students who were part of the HSTA program.

Accreditation

The Master of Science in Health Informatics accreditor of Marshall University Lewis College of Business and Brad D. Smith Schools of Business is the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). The College’s accreditation for the Master of Science degree in Health Informatics has been reaffirmed through 2023. All inquiries about the program’s accreditation status should be directed by mail to CAHIIM, 200 East Randolph Street, Suite 5100, Chicago, IL, 60601; by phone at (312) 235-3255; or by email at info@cahiim.org.

The Master of Science in Health Informatics also falls under the Lewis College of Business’s AACSB International accreditation.

 

Growing Demand

There is large demand for Health Informatics professionals. Employment of healthcare occupations is projected to grow 14 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations, adding about 1.9 million new jobs. Healthcare occupations are projected to add more jobs than any of the other occupational groups. This projected growth is mainly due to an aging population, leading to greater demand for healthcare services.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that Employment of medical records and health information technicians will grow 11 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. Further, the median annual wage for medical records and health information technicians was $40,350 in May 2018.

Advantages of Health Informatics

Renowned for its affordability and overall quality, MBA Healthcare Management notes that Marshall University’s Health Informatics program “[is] the nation’s #1 most affordable Master’s in Health Informatics degree” and “blends the didactic and experiential learning needed to prepare valuable professionals for leading today’s data and information-driven healthcare industry.” It is renowned for being the only graduate level Health Informatics program in the state of West Virginia.

The combination of skills and knowledge acquired through coursework in this unique academic model, together with the internships in the Health Informatics field at the academic, government or industry levels, will prepare students with the education and real-world experiences necessary to succeed as a leader in this emerging field.
