Evidence-based decision-making that is informed by consideration of data is a key feature of the modern criminal justice system. This program will prepare students to become data analysts who are able to consider the full range of ethical and social implications of these decisions.
This program offers a unique perspective with its focus on ethical considerations of managing and analyzing large data sets to make evidence-driven decisions in the field of criminal justice. This program is timely because debates about how, when and whether to use predictive models and algorithms for criminal justice decisions have not been resolved. Possessing an understanding of the ethical and social implications of these debates will better prepare Marquette University-trained data analysts to engage in these debates and questions while working in the field.
The master's in criminal justice data analytics is offered with flexible options, so that you can complete the courses in a way that best fits your life. Full-time and part-time options are available, and some courses are offered online. Undergraduate students have an opportunity to enter into our Accelerated Degree Program during their junior year and earn their bachelor's and master's degree in a total of five years.
