Question

Which university is better for health informatics 
Umbc or iupui

Arjun Aravind · Answer

UMBC is ranked in the country at 162 and IUPUI was ranked 196 as per US News Rankings 2022. By rankings they aren't very different, and in UMBC, health informatics is a research concentration for MS Information Systems or you can directly pursue a masters in Health Information Technology. 
The masters program in Health IT at UMBC caters to the working professional who is looking to expand their opportunities in the workforce. Whether you are an IT professional looking to transition into a role in the healthcare field or you are a healthcare professional who wants to prepare for a future-focused IT career, our program will serve your needs. If you want a traditional masters with research, this may not be for you.
You can pursue a traditional MS in Information Systems and do Health Informatics research in the department. The research activities often involve their colleagues who hold positions in health care related companies, hospitals, and other research institutions.

Health Informatics Master of Science at IUPUI has a more detailed website that talks more about the post graduate outcomes, which is genuinely more understandable regarding job roles, salaries and much more. Their full time median salary was $71,000 for the last year's graduate.

So the decision is upto you. The tuition fee at both unis for this course seem to be the same but the living costs at IUPUI are significantly lower than that of UMBC. So you can consider that as a factor between the two as well!
