A recent email from Dr.Denhardt to SPAN mentioned that "The U.S. News and World Report ranking of schools of public affairs was just released. I am pleased to report that two programs in the ASU School of Public Affairs were ranked in the top ten nationally. Our program in urban management was ranked sixth and our program in public administration was ranked eighth. In addition, our work in budgeting and financial management was ranked eighteenth. Each of these rankings represents our highest ever national rankings in these areas and all are substantially higher than our rankings five years ago. " I am really excited to be a part of this.
SPA has been doing some very interesting work to achieve the well deserved ranking in US news. Alliance for Innovation , Morrison Institute, Center for Urban Innovation contribute greatly to the research wing of SPA. Of course great faculty is the best part of the school. I am sure everyone will agree with me that we do have faculty at SPA, who are not only academicians but also wonderful people to take classes from and to work with.
I am sure that SPA will keep climbing the ladder every year. Well I will keep posting more interesting things about SPA and not to forget about ASPA conference which was a great opportunity given by SPA. More about ASPA conference in coming post.....
