Program Details
Prepare for leadership positions in commercial, non-profit, and government careers with a specialized set of skills in health law and privacy. Through this program, you will build a strong foundation in the governing laws, cybersecurity measures, data analysis and management issues associated with health information privacy.
Coursework focuses on privacy laws that range from the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), to Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, and Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Failing to meet these requirements or experiencing a data breach can have significant legal, financial, and reputation repercussions. The knowledge, skills, and abilities gained from this certificate are highly desirable to organizations working to ensure compliance with the governing laws in America and abroad.
The certificate consists of four courses, which can be completed in less than eight months. Credits earned in this program may be applied to the Master of Legal Studies with a Concentration in Health Law & Policy.
