The healthcare sector is increasingly adopting technology to enhance efficiency and quality in patient data management, driving a growing need for IT professionals in this field.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare jobs—representing about one-sixth of the U.S. economy—are projected to grow by 20% within the next decade. The highest demand will be in hospitals, medical practices, insurance companies, and tech consulting firms.
Healthcare informatics involves the knowledge, techniques, and technologies for gathering, organizing, utilizing, and sharing data to improve healthcare delivery and public health. Informatics professionals blend computer science with medical expertise to manage electronic health records, develop healthcare software like clinical decision support tools, pharmacy management systems, and imaging platforms.
St. John's University offers a pathway to these careers through its 120-credit Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Informatics. This program, housed in the Collins College of Professional Studies, equips students with comprehensive training in both healthcare and computer science—creating diverse professional opportunities.
As a pioneer in career-focused education, St. John's was among the first institutions in the New York region to introduce an undergraduate degree in Healthcare Informatics.
Rooted in the University's Vincentian and Catholic mission, the program prioritizes delivering affordable, high-quality care to underserved communities. Students gain practical experience through internships at top-tier New York hospitals and healthcare facilities, benefiting from the university's strong metropolitan connections.
