The Graduate Council approved a change to this program after the publication of the Catalog. Please refer to the Catalog Addendum for more information. 

The purpose of the Graduate Academic Certificate in Health Data Science is to educate professionals who can apply data science methods and techniques to health-related problems. The program will be delivered in a hybrid format combining online and face-to-face course delivery. Individuals who complete the GAC in Health Data Science will be able to describe the framework of modern healthcare and the current challenges facing data-driven healthcare.  Skills achieved include the ability to identify methods and tools related to managing computable health data, information, and knowledge, and to manipulate, organize, analyze, and visualize health data to improve the delivery of healthcare.
