Master of Science - Criminal Justice Data Analytics

The Master of Science in CJDA is an interdisciplinary program designed to bridge Marquette’s Data Science and Criminology and Law Studies programs. Computer science (COSC) courses compose the program's data analytics core and provide instruction and training in computer science, data science, and working with large data sets. Criminology and law studies (CRLS) courses provide the context for applying the analytical skills developed in the data analytics core to criminal justice related topics. The culminating experience of the CJDA program takes place within a Practicum. The practicum's culminating experience provides the student an opportunity to work independently with a local non-profit or government agency through a community-engaged learning experience.
