Introductory Health Data Science, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

Saint Louis University's introductory health data science post-baccalaureate certificate is a 12-credit graduate-level program to provide students with foundational knowledge and practical skills in health data science. The curriculum includes coursework in programming, data management and basic analytics, all tailored to health-related applications. The certificate is ideal for students and professionals seeking to enter the field of health data science, build core competencies, or enhance their ability to work with health data in clinical, research, or public health settings.

All courses included in the certificate are already part of the existing Master of Science in Health Data Science program at SLU. The program is designed to support a broad and diverse student population — including nontraditional and working learners — and serves as a valuable standalone credential or a steppingstone into the full M.S. degree.
