Introduction
Why choose Health Informatics and Information Management (HIIM) Program at USI?
Developed in response to the changes and demands of the healthcare industry, the Bachelor of Science in Health Informatics and Information Management (BSHIIM) is designed for a wide range of students including those who have just graduated from high school or adult learners who want to return to school and complete their bachelor's degree. Transfer programs from two-year campuses have been developed so learners can begin their education at local community colleges and then transfer to USI to complete their bachelor's degree. In addition to traditional students, many students with Information Technology (IT) or health care preparation at the associates level - such as associates degree prepared nurses or Health Information Management professionals - can complete the HIIM Bachelor's program. Discipline-specific courses are offered as distance courses as well as traditional classroom-based courses.
