Curriculum Overview

The goal of SLU's M.S. in health data science program is to provide graduates with the expertise and necessary skills needed to manage, manipulate and analyze large-scale clinical and operational databases. Most core courses are offered onsite during hours convenient for working professionals.听This program is flexible enough for traditional students or working professionals. It offers the expertise and hands-on skills in analytics, modeling and outcomes research needed to meet the increasing demand for data scientists in the health care system.

Students complete 30 credits of coursework across three integrated areas of study, below.听In the final semester of the program, students will complete a comprehensive three-credit hour capstone course which provides a platform for students to integrate the skills and knowledge acquired throughout the program into a tangible real-world project.听

Applied Statistics

Build capabilities to ask critical questions and draw conclusions from large, complex data with a variety of analytic methods, including predictive modeling, machine learning and data visualization. The program incorporates new software regularly to promote sharp and current analytic skills.

Practical Computing

Learn a diverse set of open-source and proprietary software required to link data from disparate sources such as electronic medical records, insurance claims, operations data, patient registries and personal health devices. This software includes R, Python, SAS, SQL and Hadoop.

Health Science Applications

Respond to the challenges of a regulated, dynamic industry by understanding unique health care contexts such as privacy protection, government financing, risk contracting, performance monitoring and population health management.

Fieldwork and Research Opportunities

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Health Data Science program provides traditional students and working professionals with the expertise and hands-on skills needed to meet this increasing demand in the health care systems. Focus is placed on highly sought-after skills in health data manipulation, data visualization, data mining, machine learning and predictive analytics.

Students build programming skills in R, SAS, SQL, and Python; as well as gain experience working with advanced computing tools such as Hadoop and MapReduce.
