Biomedical and Public Health Analytics Specialization

Specialization Educational Objectives

In addition to the core objectives, a student graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Data Analytics with a specialization in Biomedical and Public Health Analytics will:

  • demonstrate an understanding of the core sub-disciplines of biomedical informatics and public health that play a role in the design, implementation, and management of clinical, research, and translational information systems.
  • describe the contributing theoretical frameworks that are conventionally used to inform the design and use of biological data, medical information systems, and integrative data discovery and analysis tools.
  • apply critical evaluation skills that allow for the analysis of system design, interpretation and utilization of biomedical and public health information systems and data.
