Why should you study Health Information Management at IUPUI? Our campus has a strong health care focus, and our students get experience at facilities like the IU School of Medicine, the IU School of Nursing, the Regenstrief Institute, and the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center.
That real-world learning is not just a bonus—it’s a program requirement. You’ll complete a project—a professional practicum—in a health care setting under the supervision of a mentor.
You could get hired directly from your practicum project experience, like the HIM student who accepted a job offer from a local hospital after decreasing the hospital’s infection rates and the response time to inpatient calls. The student’s solution: a new call system that tracked hand sanitizer use and wait times, and a much clearer and shorter system instruction manual.
The Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM) and approved by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).
Transfer students can transfer up to 90 percent of credit hours they’ve earned from programs accredited by CAHIIM.*
* This number is based on CAHIIM 2014 competencies.
Our program offers a gateway to accelerated graduate studies. Students can earn a Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management plus a Master of Science in Health Informatics in only 5 years.
Accelerated 4+1 programs are time and cost efficient, allowing you to complete two degrees in five years—with increased career opportunities and earning potential.
We offer scholarships for new and transfer students and tuition reduction through the Midwest Student Exchange Program, as well as scholarships for current students.
Online students are eligible for IUPUI HIM scholarship. Once you’ve submitted your application to the Health Information Management program, contact Lisa DesNoyers at ldesnoye@iu.edu for the scholarship application.
