Master’s degree program in homeland security maintains No. 1 national ranking
Arizona State University has 14 graduate degree programs in the top 10 nationwide — including one that is No. 1 for the second year in a row — according to the 2023–24 rankings just released by U.S. News & World Report.
ASU’s master’s degree program in homeland security was ranked No. 1 in the country, ahead of George Washington University, Columbia University and University of Southern California, among others. The program, which tied for the top spot last year, is one of seven top-10 rankings for the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions, which ranked No. 10 overall for public affairs graduate programs.
“These latest rankings are a reflection of the expertise of our faculty and their commitment to our students,” Executive Vice President and University Provost Nancy Gonzales said.
“Information in all fields of study is constantly evolving, and our professors, instructors and academic mentors invest their time and talents to bring leading-edge knowledge into their teaching and research. Our faculty ensures our programs are relevant and forward-looking, and I am grateful that their efforts are being recognized through these rankings.”
U.S. News & World Report provides several higher education rankings throughout the year, and last fall it rated ASU as the most innovative university in the country for the eighth year in a row. Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report named three ASU Online programs No. 1 in the nation — bachelor’s in business, master in education administration and supervision, and master in education/instructional media design.
