  <title><![CDATA[Public Policy Rises to 45th Overall Best Graduate School in Latest U.S. News & World Report Rankings, and #2 and #22 in Specific Disciplines]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Ivan Allen College School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech has achieved significant movement upward in rankings announced in the latest <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report, </em>moving up eight spots in rankings of Best Graduate Schools in Public Affairs to #45 overall.</p><p>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.&nbsp;</p><p>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&nbsp;at #22.&nbsp;</p><p>“This new recognition likely reflects the rigorous policy analysis that is a hallmark of the school’s curriculum as well as publications by&nbsp;faculty that have received widespread recognition,” said School Chair Kaye Husbands Fealing.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
