A one-year, 18-credit, six-course structure built for the future of healthcare, public health, data science, and urban health.
Each Graduate Certificate combines academic theory, technical skill, case study, data analysis, project design, and a Capstone applied project. Students learn to apply scientific evidence, technical tools, and professional judgment to real-world problems in an interdisciplinary environment.
Biomedical informatics sits at the intersection of medicine, life sciences, data science, and information technology. As electronic health records, clinical decision support, AI, big data, and interoperability standards advance, healthcare and health-tech industries increasingly need professionals who combine clinical understanding, data ability, and information-systems thinking.
This certificate prepares students to apply the core principles of biomedical informatics, with capabilities across health data management, electronic health records, healthcare data standards, FHIR interoperability, clinical workflow, and AI for clinical decision support.
Career Pathways: Clinical Informatics Analyst · EHR Analyst · Health Data Analyst · FHIR / Interoperability Analyst · Clinical Research Informatics Coordinator · AI/CDS Project Specialist.
Epidemiology is the foundational science of public health. By studying the distribution, causes, and impacts of disease and health events in populations, it provides the evidence base for prevention, policy, evaluation, and public-health action.
This certificate develops core epidemiologic principles, study design, biostatistics, public-health data analysis, surveillance, outbreak investigation, and applied communication. Through R-based analysis, case studies, surveillance data interpretation, outbreak simulations, and a Capstone project, students learn how to translate data into public-health decisions.
Career Pathways: Epidemiology Analyst · Public Health Data Analyst · Surveillance Coordinator · Clinical Research Coordinator · Infection Prevention Analyst · Program Evaluation Specialist.
Healthy City Science is an interdisciplinary field shaped by urban development, public health, equity, urban planning, environmental health, and data governance. As urbanization, climate change, aging, housing pressure, transportation safety, environmental exposure, and health inequity become more pressing, cities need professionals who can integrate health evidence, spatial data, policy tools, and community engagement.
This certificate prepares students to understand how cities shape health, and to apply healthy-city frameworks, GIS, urban indicators, health-impact assessment, climate resilience, and cross-sector governance to design healthier, more equitable, safer, and more resilient urban solutions.
Career Pathways: Healthy City Analyst · Urban Health Analyst · Health Equity Specialist · Built Environment & Health Planner · Urban Data / GIS Analyst · Climate & Health Resilience Coordinator.
