專業(yè)概況
在這里學什么?
The Master of Science in Informatics program consists of at least 30 credit hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. This includes a minimum of eight required courses (24 credit hours) and six credit hours of thesis or independent study.
Two tracks of study are available to students: Health Information Management (HIM) and Information Resource Management (IRM).
As an academic discipline, informatics involves the study of information and the application of information technology to the acquisition, processing, management and utilization of information.
The past 30 years have seen all aspects of business, and life in general, become increasingly dependent on information technology (IT) and electronic processing of information. IT and information management have become the lifeblood of organizations and effect almost every job. Many employees today are information workers (even if their job title does not officially reflect the role) whose daily job duties require the usage of an array of information and communication technologies as well as information management and processing practices, procedures and methodologies.
Curriculum
- Live courses are offered in the evening hours. Many courses are offered entirely online or hybrid. Hybrid courses are online but also require a few live meetings. Students may attend live meetings in Greenville or Spartanburg or by other special arrangement (for students not in the Upstate South Carolina area).
- Three core courses are required for both tracks, and four additional courses are needed for each track. Students lacking prerequisite knowledge, as determined by the review panel, may be required to complete one or more additional courses at the undergraduate level.
Mission
- The design, procurement, implementation, maintenance and evolution of information-based resources are collectively known as information resource management. The mission of the Department of Informatics is to prepare professionals with a multi-disciplinary education rich in information technology, information management, business and communication - skills the information resource management job market is looking for in today’s graduates.
- Upon graduation from the Master of Science in Informatics program, students will be able to:
- Envision and plan information management systems, solutions, structures and processes.
- Ensure legal and regulatory compliance.
- Use information management resources to analyze and transform information into a knowledge-creating competitive advantage for businesses or organizations.
