New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service (NYU Wagner, Wagner) is a public policy school that offers a comprehensive curriculum in public and nonprofit policy and management, health policy and management, international development, and urban planning.
In 1938, NYU offered its first Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree in response to overfilled public service-oriented classes at the university. Fifteen years later, NYU established a stand-alone school—the School for Public Service and Social Work. At around the same time, Robert Ferdinand Wagner Jr., as Mayor of New York City, worked to build public housing and schools, and established the right for city employees to collectively bargain. Wagner also made housing discrimination based on race, creed, or color illegal in New York City. In 1989, NYU renamed the school the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service in honor of the three-term mayor after receiving a major donation from the Wagner family.
In 2004, NYU Wagner relocated to the Puck Building, a famous New York City landmark in the city’s SoHo neighborhood.
The school offers the following degrees:
NYU Wagner also offers joint degree programs with the NYU School of Law, NYU Stern School of Business, NYU School of Medicine, the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, the NYU College of Arts and Science, and the NYU College of Global Public Health.
NYU Wagner is ranked eleventh nationally in the most recent U.S. News and World Report ranking of U.S. Public Affairs schools. In addition, NYU Wagner is ranked #2 in City Management, #2 in Health Policy and Management, #5 in Nonprofit Management, #7 in Public Finance and Budgeting, #8 in Social Policy, and #9 in Public Management and Administration. In 2015, NYU Wagner was ranked third in the Innovative Public Service school list by the Best Value Schools.
