NYU Wagner ranks high in U.S. News & World Report

We are proud to announce that the just-released U.S. News & World Report rankings of 282 public affairs and administration master’s programs across the country place NYU Wagner at #9 overall in the nation—well ahead of all of its New York City peer schools.

In specialty areas, Wagner is #1 in Health Policy & Management, #2 in Urban Policy, #6 in Nonprofit Management, #6 in Public Finance & Budgeting, #7 in Social Policy, #7 in Local Government Management, and #10 in Public Management & Leadership.

The rankings are exciting confirmation that Wagner is one of the leading graduate schools of public service and is gaining momentum (up from #11 overall in the 2016 rankings). We are grateful to the deans, directors, and department chairs of master's programs around the country whose votes acknowledge our distinction and success.
