History
The School became a standalone entity in 2001 when the department of political science separated from the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences which had been founded in 1801. Since then, the School has added two additional departments (international affairs and public administration and policy). The Master of Public Administration program of SPIA which began in 1966 in Franklin College is currently ranked third in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, according to their 2023 rankings. The school boasts 50 full-time faculty members and has produced 11,000 alumni since its founding. Most notably, it produced two Rhodes Scholars in 2008.
