Ranking urban affairs graduate programs is a difficult undertaking because there is no objective or consensual measure of quality. This study utilizes three empirical measures- reputation, productivity, and quality of individual output—to rank urban affairs programs. These measures as well as an overall ranking are presented for each program. In addition, per capita productivity and quality of individual output ratings are presented to control for program faculty size; the same measures are presented with the most productive member and the most cited member of each faculty removed from the respective rankings to control for a "superstar" effect
