Hello,
I'm looking for recommendations for an online, asynchronous master's program in Health Informatics with a total cost as close to $10,000 as possible. I've looked at a few different health informatics programs, but the tuition is astronomical (to me at least, I'm a WGU grad so I'm spoiled).
I'd also be open to MHA or MSIT programs that have a health informatics concentration. Currently Amberton University's MHA program with their grad cert in Healthcare Informatics is looking like a good option, but I'm wanting to explore other options too.
Thank you!

A few
on GetEducated’s list are between 15 and 20K out-of-state, including University of Illinois Springfield, and Dakota State University (which also has an online PhD in IS with healthcare IS specialization). Boston U is 20K. Not sure which are asynchronous.

99.9999% of health informatics jobs go to nurses or MDs. For any decent jobs, it's pretty important to have a clinical background.

I'm not a nurse, but do have a clinical background and am already employed in health IT. The informatics masters would be for advancement at my current employer.

Just curious... Which program did you finish at WGU? Maybe try to ladder into a Masters at WGU and make it a one-and-done combo...
