School of Public Policy RankingsThe Ivan Allen College School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech has achieved significant movement upward in rankings announced in the latest U.S. News & World Report, moving up eight spots in rankings of Best Graduate Schools in Public Affairs to #45 overall.
The rise in rankings is notable since the school is small and focuses on a subset of the substantive policy areas of larger peer and competitor programs.
Public Policy also moved up three spots to rank as the #2 program nationwide in IT Management, a key focus area for the School. It was also ranked for the first time in the specialty of Public Policy Analysis at #22.
“This new recognition likely reflects the rigorous policy analysis that is a hallmark of the school’s curriculum as well as publications by faculty that have received widespread recognition,” said School Chair Kaye Husbands Fealing.
