The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) have combined their expertise and resources to offer this joint Master of Science in Medical Informatics degree. MCW has an international reputation as a leading-edge provider of medical education and research programs. MSOE is highly regarded nationwide for its long history of providing applications-oriented educational programs. Faculty at both institutions will facilitate your learning by providing "real-world" experiences to reinforce theory and concepts.
This is the first and only applied educational program of its type in the Midwest. The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is a private educational institution with a Medical School offering the MD degree; the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences which offers the Ph.D., M.S., and M.A. degrees; and a specialized MPH program for physicians.
MCW is located on the campus of the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, along with Froedert Memorial Lutheran Hospital, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex, Curative Rehabilitation Center, and the Blood Research Institute of the Blood Center of Southeastern Wisconsin. MCW benefits from a close working relationship with these institutions, as well as with other Milwaukee institutions including Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Marquette University, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and MSOE.
Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) was founded in 1903 on the basis of an educational philosophy that integrates two basic elements of learning; theory and practice. What began as a program of practical training, today encompasses 17 bachelor's degrees and 10 master's degree programs exemplifying an applications-oriented approach to education.
MSOE's 20 acre campus is located in a vibrant downtown neighborhood in Milwaukee, just a few short blocks from the hub of the cultural attractions, sporting venues and the lakefront. The university is well known for its close association with business and industry. Faculty have relevant, practical experience in their areas of expertise and focus research efforts on application of theory to problem solving and innovation. Class sizes are small and there are no teaching assistants.
