APAN Info Session

The Applied Political Analytics Program (APAN) was launched in the 2021-22 academic year to offer promising students the opportunity to earn a master’s degree in the high-demand, and still growing, modern data science industry. The program is delivered as both a standalone degree and a combined 4+1 BA/MS. All admitted students will complete 36 credit hours at the graduate level, with classes from both the Government & Politics (GVPT) and Survey Methodology (SURV) departments. 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, NGOs, and government agencies of all levels.
