Open doors for a rewarding career with our graduate programs
There is an unprecedented demand in our society to apply artificial intelligence, data-driven technologies and computational solutions to address our most challenging problems.
Meharry SACS will empower you to tackle these challenges in healthcare, drug discovery, technology, and businesses in nearly any industry. As an HBCU, we are also committed to increasing the diversity of the technology profession. That is because diverse teams bring varied backgrounds and experiences, making them better to develop algorithms and computing tools that serve everyone.
Build a portfolio of real-world experience
Prepare to impress future employers with examples of faculty-assisted research. You could apply your education to:
- Uncover new drug treatments from biological data
- Leverage AI to solve complex problems,
- Predict cancer risks,
- Novel solutions to protect clinical data
- Address health disparities, and
- Building and securing the computing technologies that make these impacts possible.
Live, online classes held in the evening
Our online learning environment is a lot like an in-person classroom. We just add the convenience of the virtual setting. Faculty will engage you through interactive class lectures, office hours, in-class exercises and projects.
All classes are held in the evening. You can also continue to earn salary and benefits while you pursue your degree. Plus, your colleagues will notice your expanding skillset and expertise.
Hands-on, project-based learning
We emphasize a practical approach to learning. You will learn to master classroom concepts through several hands-on, individual and group projects that use real-world data. These projects will empower you to develop the problem-solving abilities necessary for success in the field.
