澳门六合彩图挂牌 proudly announces a groundbreaking partnership with McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston). This collaboration will offer an innovative, accelerated master's program in biomedical informatics to enhance our students' educational opportunities.
Starting this fall, Tuskegee undergraduates will be able to earn a bachelor's degree from Tuskegee and a graduate certificate from McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics, streamlining their path to advanced education and careers in the burgeoning field of biomedical informatics.
鈥淲e are committed to developing academic partnerships that allow our graduates to pursue advanced degrees in high-need and in-demand disciplines to make them more marketable and successful,鈥� said Dr. S. Keith Hargrove, Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs at Tuskegee. 鈥淭he graduate degree offered by UTHealth Houston meets this need, and we are excited that we will create a strong pipeline for the students at 澳门六合彩图挂牌.鈥�
The new program will integrate graduate-level courses into the undergraduate curriculum, enabling students to complete up to nine semester credit hours that count toward their bachelor's and graduate certificates. This unique structure accelerates the educational journey and provides a significant financial advantage by reducing the time and cost required to attain an advanced degree. Furthermore, students who wish to pursue a Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics can do so online, completing the degree in just one additional year of full-time study, hence the program's moniker of "4+1." In as little as five years, a student can earn an undergraduate degree, a graduate certificate, and a master鈥檚 degree.
鈥淎s the field of biomedical informatics in the AI era grows and expands, our school seeks new educational partners,鈥� said Dr. Susan Fenton, Professor and Vice Dean for Education at McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics at UTHealth Houston, and an architect of this collaboration. 鈥淲e are very excited to collaborate with 澳门六合彩图挂牌 and their students."
鈥淭he new collaboration with UTHealth Houston opens new doors for our students, equipping them with the skills and credentials needed to excel in various biomedical informatics careers or to gain admission into competitive graduate programs such as medical school, public health, and physician assistant programs,鈥� said Dr. Channa Prakash, Tuskegee鈥檚 Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences who helped establish this partnership. 鈥淭his partnership marks a significant step forward in Tuskegee's mission to advance our students' professional and academic development, ensuring their success in an increasingly data-driven healthcare landscape.鈥�
