Liberty University’s Informatics Online Degree Programs

Informatics is the science of how to use data, information, and technology for the improvement of healthcare services for the better care and safety of patients. Thanks to advances in technology, we have the chance to store and analyze patient information through a growing field called Health Information Technology. As the population ages, so too does the need for experts who can manage the increase in patient data. 

By pursuing one of our online undergraduate or graduate informatics degrees, you can develop the medical and technological skills to pursue career opportunities. Our informatics degrees are an excellent way to combine your interest in healthcare and technology.

Each online course within Liberty University’s informatics programs is taught by seasoned professionals from a Christian worldview, so you can be confident that our informatics programs can help prepare you for a career both professionally and spiritually.

Liberty University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). That means we provide you with a flexible education that meets the highest standards. Our online informatics degree programs can help you become part of this field that is improving the safety, quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of healthcare.

What Will You Study in an Informatics Degree?

Liberty University’s online informatics degrees take a fascinating hands-on approach to learning. Each of the classes within our informatics degree programs integrates biblical principles with professional standards to help you graduate with the in-demand skills employers are seeking.

Depending on which degree you choose you will study the fundamentals of pharmacology and medical healthcare coding and classification.
