Six of those semester credit hours will be in support courses not offered by the department. Other courses such as Telehealth and Health Informatics Consulting will be developed in cooperation with other institutions. Each student follows a degree plan developed with an advisory committee composed of two full-time Health Informatics faculty members and a third adjunct faculty member who represents the student's interest or discipline area. A total of 93 semester credit hours listed in the sample curriculum matrix for Health Informatics must be completed prior to graduation.
Continued enrollment is required unless approval from the advisory committee is obtained.
A maximum of one year of approved leave will allow for continuance in the program. If more than one year occurs, the student must seek admission to the program. If the student makes lower than a B in that particular course the second time, the student cannot continue in the program. If a student fails two academic courses in one semester, the student will be dismissed from the program for academic reasons. If a student fails three or more courses, the student will be dismissed from the program for academic reasons.
