How can data help us understand public opinion, inform campaign strategy, and shape policy?

Join us to learn about UMD’s M.S. in Applied Political Analytics (APAN), a program that combines political science and data science to prepare students for careers in political research and analysis.

APAN’s 36-credit curriculum builds a foundation in political science alongside practical skills in research design, coding, database management, and data visualization. The program is offered as a standalone master’s degree for college graduates and as a combined 4+1 option for eligible UMD undergraduates.
