|
|
 Return to: Departments and Programs
Health Informatics and Information Management (HiiM) minor is designed for all WMU undergraduate students who have been accepted by any college at Western Michigan University with any academic major other than the HiiM major. To ensure the academic success, each applicant for a HiiM minor must have completed two necessary and basic pre-HiiM courses with a minimum individual grade of “C” with an average grade performance of 2.75 at WMU. In addition, each accepted HiiM minor must take two required HiiM core courses and two elective HiiM courses. Altogether, a HiiM minor is required to take 16 credit hours of coursework.
Due to enrollment capacity limited by existing faculty resources a controlled access policy will be applied to all HiiM core courses. That is, for any HiiM core course, if offered, seats will first be reserved for students with a HiiM major. If extra seats remain after a defined enrollment deadline for the HiiM major, then those seats will be made available to students with a HiiM minor, then to any other legitimate students.

Admission Requirements
The Health Informatics and Information Management (HiiM) minor is designed for any WMU student to complement his/her academic major(s) at Western Michigan University. Due to the enrollment capacity constraints and the assurance of academic success for HiiM minors to complete the required coursework in HiiM curriculum, students who are interested in pursuing a HiiM minor must apply for acceptance after they have completed the pre-HiiM requirements with acceptable performance.

For spring semester admission, students must complete the application process by September 1 and will be notified of their status no later than October 1.

Any HiiM minor applicant must be an eligible WMU student who has been admitted to a college at WM with a minimum GPA of 2.75.
