Information for Students
SPIA students are among the best and brightest in the country. In fact, two of the School’s graduates were awarded Rhodes Scholarships in 2008—a point of pride for our School and for the University of Georgia.
While the caliber of SPIA’s student body continues to be impressive, so too are the accomplishments of the School’s faculty. As a student at the School of Public and International Affairs, you will be studying with award-winning teacher-scholars who are devoted to excellence both in the classroom and in their areas of research. U.S. News & World Report continues to rank the School’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree program in the top four programs in the nation, tied for 4th with the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. Whether you are looking for an undergraduate or graduate program, you will find a rigorous and rewarding learning environment at UGA’s School of Public and International Affairs.
