“My experience during the MS/AHI program was outstanding. In my studies, I was able to gain the most up-to-date knowledge and insights from professionals in the Health IT field. Small class sizes and the option to select a specialization based on my interest ensured that the experience I received was both personal and personalized. The best aspect of the program for me was the three-part Practicum. There, I utilized the knowledge I attained to develop skills that I am currently using—and will continue to use—in the professional world. Prospective students: If you are looking to develop a thorough foundation for your career in Health IT at a price that does not break the bank, look no further than the MS/AHI program at Stony Brook University.”
