To calculate an overall score, the ranking indicators used the following factors: quality assessment, placement, and student selectivity. The rankings of public affairs programs are based solely on peer assessment survey results sent in fall 2021 and early 2022 to deans, directors and department chairs representing 270 master’s programs in public affairs and administration.
