Provides healthcare domain knowledge, healthcare data understanding, and data science methodologies to solve problems. Understand data types, models, and sources, including electronic health record data; health outcomes, quality, risk, and safety data; and unstructured data, such as clinical text data; biomedical sensor data; and biomedical image data. Querying with SQL, data visualization with Tableau, and analysis and prediction with Python.

This course looks into the past, present, and future of technologies that impact labor, with an eye to empowering students with knowledge about the social, economic, and political dimensions of the tools they use both inside and outside of work. The course covers labor history, whistleblowers, and hidden histories of common technologies that reorient common assumptions about what technologies can do, and what they have done in the past.

Provides a foundation in discrete mathematics, data structures, algorithmic design and implementation, computational complexity, parallel computing, and data integrity and consistency. Case studies and exercises will be drawn from real-world examples (e.g., bioinformatics, public health, marketing, and security).

Provides an in-depth exploration of probabilistic and statistical methods used to understand, quantify, and manage uncertainty. Learn foundational concepts in probability and statistics, simulation techniques, and modern approaches to parameter estimation, decision theory, and hypothesis testing. Topics include parametric and nonparametric methods, Bayesian and frequentist paradigms, and applications of uncertainty in real-world problems. 

Equips students with some of the most used deep learning architectures. Explore feed-forward networks, convolutional neural networks, UNETs, encoders-decoders, generative adversarial networks and transformers. Analyze tools of explainable AI. Focused on climate applications, apply these techniques to real-world data, solving problems in prediction, pattern recognition, and data-driven insights.

This course will equip students with some of the most commonly used deep learning architectures. We will explore feed-forward networks, convolutional neural networks, UNETs, encoders-decoders, generative adversarial networks and transformers. We will also analyze tools of explainable AI. Focused on environmental applications, students will apply these techniques to real-world data, solving problems in prediction, pattern recognition, and data-driven insights. Solid background in probability, statistics, and in coding (preferably Python) is recommended for enrollment in this course.

Focuses on principles & theories of law related to healthcare delivery, management & administration. Examines the application of laws on healthcare liability prevention & the risks managers face. Explores legal & ethical issues in healthcare systems; and investigates the healthcare administrator as decision-maker, leader and moral agent. Evaluates situations with potential ethical/legal implications.

An intensive overview of cloud infrastructure and their role in data science. Topics will include storage as a service, ephemeral computing resources, auto-scaling, and event-driven workloads. Special attention will be paid to cloud-native design patterns, which are built assuming the unique functionality of cloud computing resources.

Focuses on the unique integration of public health and healthcare systems. Provides students with key knowledge and skills to effectively promote health and prevent disease, while navigating public health and healthcare challenges. Emphasizes the identification of populations at risk; evidence-based care, care coordination, patient and community engagement, and reporting of outcomes. Prereq: Bachelor's Degree

Provides an overview of the operations, management, and administration of long-term care facilities and trends in the long-term care industry. Examines the needs and issues related to the geriatric population, the delivery and financing of long-term care services, and the regulatory environment and policies for long-term care.
