School of Allied Health
The School of Allied Health includes the Department of Health Information Management and the Department of Health and Health Education (HEED). Designed to exceed the growing need for health information management specialists and health science professionals, we build upon Coppin’s legacy of educational excellence. We are proud to be the only higher education institution in the state of Maryland to offer an accredited four-year degree program in Health Information Management (HIM).
Through a lens of innovation and inclusivity, we aim to transform education and healthcare to bridge the gap associated with the social determinants of health and education. Students grow academically, socially, and professionally through the valuable experiential learning, scholarship, leadership, and community engagement experiences. We strive to facilitate your progress towards your personal and professional goals. With confidence, I must state that we are transforming lives within and outside of the CSU catchment area and our students and alumnus are our most precious gems.
