The Applied Political Analytics (APAN) offers promising students an opportunity to earn a MS degree in the high-demand data science industry. Graduates of the APAN program will be well-suited and prepared well above average for data-oriented political careers in the private sector, research organizations, NGO’s, and government agencies of all levels.

Currently enrolled UMD students with junior standing can apply for the APAN combined 4+1 program.
