Use data to drive meaningful change in the world.

The applied psychology data analytics master’s program housed in the Department of Psychology at Marquette University combines analytical skills with a deep understanding of human behavior. This program will leverage the use of big data and advanced statistical techniques to give graduates a professional edge in applying their psychology degree to jobs in health care, business, education, social media and related fields.

Students will engage in interdisciplinary coursework between the psychology and computer science departments and will earn a data science certificate upon completion of the program.

This program will provide hands-on experience allowing students the opportunity to work with community organizations to apply psychological principles to real-world problems by using data. Community placements will take place in a student’s last year in the program.

Accelerated Degree Program Option

Qualified Marquette undergraduate students can enter as an Accelerated Degree Program (ADP) during their junior year and earn their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in as few as five years.

Accelerated Degree Programs (or "4+1" programs) allow current Marquette University undergraduate students to continue on for a master's degree after completing their bachelor's degrees. ADP students take classes during their junior or senior years that meet requirements for both their undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Post-baccalaureate applicants who are not current Marquette undergraduate students can also apply to complete this program full-time as a traditional Master’s student. In this case, the program is expected to take 2 years to complete.
