MSHMI Article

The number of young adults going back to school for their master’s degree is particularly high these days, as more people than ever see the value of advancing their education for the sake of their career. But the thought of squeezing classes into a packed work schedule still deters many professionals from getting the degree they want. That’s why at Kennesaw State University, the Coles College of Business offers several degree programs with flexible schedules. In particular, we’re proud to feature programs for people with careers that combine technology with healthcare or business. If this describes your job and you’ve hit a point in your career where you can’t progress without additional education, here’s what you need to know about our MSHMI and MSIS programs.

Prepare for a Career in Healthcare Management & Informatics

Both the healthcare and information technology fields are constantly growing, so it makes sense that there’s a demand for professionals who are highly educated in these subjects. If you have an interest in using IT to improve the quality of healthcare, look into getting a Master of Science in Healthcare Management and Informatics, or MSHMI. This degree merges IT, data and computing with healthcare in a way that no other program has done. In fact, Kennesaw State University is the only Georgia school to offer the MSHMI program in this format, allowing graduates to prepare for roles that may include project manager, chief medical informatics officer, chief information officer, analyst and more.

Whether you’re considering a career in healthcare management and informatics or have already started one, you’ll find that an MSHMI degree will help you progress in this field. And when you come to Kennesaw State University for the MSHMI program, you can look forward to flexibility when it comes to school. That’s because you can take a combination of online and on-campus courses throughout the two-year program. To learn more about our MSHMI program, please RSVP for an information session today.

Combine Business with Technology

If you’re considering a career that combines business and technology in the same role, you’ll benefit from getting a Master of Science in Information Systems, or MSIS. At Kennesaw State University, our MSIS program can teach you what you need to know about mining data for business, managing project portfolios, determining an IS strategy, navigating IS ethics, making business decisions based on data and more.

If you need to know any of these skills in your role, you should consider an MSIS degree. And now you can get it without putting your career on hold, since our course scheduling is flexible enough for most professionals who are frequently busy with work. Not only do we offer evening classes, but you can also take some of the classes online, allowing you to fit your studies in any time of day. Whether you’re taking Informatics, Advanced IT Project Management or Global IS Management courses, you can look forward to meeting with engaging, experienced professors who truly care about your success in the MSIS program.
