Graduate Study. The Group currently offers an<br />
M.S. degree in Health Informatics. The program is<br />
aimed at health care professionals who hold<br />
advanced degrees, including, but not limited to,<br />
M.D., D.O., D.V.M., VMD, MPH, and RN with Bachelor's<br />
degree. The course of study provides researchoriented<br />
training that spans the use of computer systems<br />
in medicine today, including methods for clinical<br />
data acquisition, storage, and retrieval, the<br />
development, use and implementation of the electronic<br />
medical record, management of clinical data,<br />
and the use of medical decision support systems. A<br />
research project and thesis are mandatory degree<br />
requirements.<br />
Preparation. The Group encourages applications<br />
from health professionals who have had experience<br />
in the manipulation of clinical information. Basic<br />
qualifications include an advanced degree in a<br />
health-related field or the equivalent in work experience.<br />
Background in a programming language is<br />
required. Applicants with extensive computer background<br />
but little knowledge of clinical information<br />
would need to gain considerable practical experience<br />
in dealing with clinical information to be competitive<br />
in applying to the program.<br />

The Major Program<br />
The history major develops critical intelligence and<br />
fosters an understanding of ourselves and our world<br />
through the study of the past—both remote and<br />
recent.<br />
The Program. A student electing a major in History<br />
may complete Plan I or Plan II. Plan I enables<br />
students to receive a broad education in histories of<br />
several geographic areas. Plan II encourages interested<br />
students, including those preparing for graduate<br />
work in history, to enroll in a seminar, to<br />
undertake independent work, and to study the history<br />
of historical thought as part of the major. Students<br />
preferring more active engagement in research<br />
and writing are encouraged to follow Plan II.<br />
Career Alternatives. A degree in history is excellent<br />
preparation for a professional career such as<br />
teaching, law, journalism, public administration, or<br />
business management. Professional schools in these<br />
and related fields are looking for students who can<br />
weigh conflicting evidence, evaluate alternative<br />
courses of action or divergent points of view, and<br />
express conclusions logically in everyday language.<br />
These analytical skills are stressed in history classes,<br />
and their mastery gives the history student a solid<br />
preparation for subsequent training in a specialized<br />
career.<br />
