UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA (UNBC)
UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA – HEALTH INFORMATION SCIENCE
At UNBC…
The awards are here. For the
7th straight year, Maclean's
has ranked UNBC the best small
school west of Atlantic Canada.
We're only one of four-research
intensive universities in BC, and
last year, students rated us #1
in Canada for our commitment
to the environment in the Globe
and Mail.
The support is here. With some
of the smallest class sizes in
western Canada, you'll get a
top-quality education in a personable environment. Perhaps
that's why 94% of our students are satisfied with their program at UNBC.
The opportunity is here. 93% of recent graduates from UNBC have found
work within their first two years of graduation. Now that's not a bad average.
The environment is here. Come to Canada's Green University. Surrounded
by over 50 trails for hiking and biking, we're committed to the environment
we live in; evident in our academic programming, research, on-campus events
and student life.
The action is here. Our Northern Sport Centre includes a three-court gym,
squash courts, indoor field house with FIFA-approved turf, and an elevated indoor track. We offer 150 international exchange opportunities and more than
one Student Life event on campus every week!
Health Information Science is
the study of how health data
are collected, stored and communicated, how those data are
processed into health information suitable for administrative
and clinical decision making,
and how computer and telecommunications technology can be
applied to support these processes.
A BSc in Health Information
Science or a combined major in
Computer Science and Health
Information Science will give
you a qualified "edge" enabling you to have an integral role in information-lead health care. With 100%
employment rate, since 1997, our alumni are employed as consultants,
managers, system designers, system analysts and researchers with starting
salaries typically above $55,000 per year.
As a health information science student, you'll bring your studies to life
through co-op. Your program includes a mandatory co-op component that lets
you alternate your academic terms with three paid co-op terms working for
health care employers.
