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 />

Prize for Teaching and Scholarly Achievement<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 />
