A revolution is underway in the fields of city planning, policy, operations, and management; public policy and public administration; and health administration. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to advance your career and broaden your knowledge now by earning a Master of Public Informatics (MPI) at Rutgers University.<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frutgers.us1.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D08300e89ae2155ec7ce3796ca%26id%3Dfbbb35fc50%26e%3Dc492713804&data=02%7C01%7Clahr%40rutgers.edu%7Cec9d6d4a83714f4342ca08d6e9de4a3c%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C636953538266274439&sdata=hBVKlcrgY40BOjIXUJqMlV26A%2BEDyvGZNr%2FUhAusmKA%3D&reserved=0> The Bloustein School is a leader in the fields of planning, public policy, and health, offering diverse and flexible graduate programs that provide each student with the opportunity to frame a course of study tailored to her or his individual needs. The programs are built around a common core of required courses plus areas of specialization. The limiting factor to the successful use of big data is the skill set of traditionally trained analysts and administrators who are not familiar with advanced computational tools and data management techniques. Public informatics is an interdisciplinary field that uses statistical methods, computer algorithms, and systems thinking to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured. Cross-trained professionals with skills in public applications of information science are needed to address this training gap. One of the greatest advantages of the Rutgers MPI program<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frutgers.us1.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D08300e89ae2155ec7ce3796ca%26id%3D8797013411%26e%3Dc492713804&data=02%7C01%7Clahr%40rutgers.edu%7Cec9d6d4a83714f4342ca08d6e9de4a3c%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C636953538266274439&sdata=HI0k5ZU%2FyHzztvGxYuIkObQCTSEdqgJf7ZzIy9O0shE%3D&reserved=0> is our faculty. We have selected world-class professionals that have substantial real-world experience. Furthermore, as one of a highly selected few universities classified as "RI: Doctoral Universities– Highest Research Activity," Rutgers has developed close relationships with organizations throughout the region, putting us ahead of our competitors.

Graduates of the program will bring a critical voice and a deep understanding of context to an emerging field. As the end of the year quickly approaches, we would like to remind you that we are now accepting applications to our Master of Public Informatics <https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frutgers.us1.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D08300e89ae2155ec7ce3796ca%26id%3D96b3226405%26e%3Dc492713804&data=02%7C01%7Clahr%40rutgers.edu%7Cec9d6d4a83714f4342ca08d6e9de4a3c%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C636953538266294459&sdata=%2BaPOiMuKhvZuCftT0JeoRRJsUWu0VkN2uoVmCzAj5P4%3D&reserved=0> program for September 2019.
