You could also go find the full survey (TRIPS) for lots of other info that may be of interest. I always got the sense that this question (top 5 MA programs) fell a little into "name the first 5 MA programs you can think of," though. Well, there's SFS, SIPA, SAIS, HKS, Fletcher...Wilson...Elliot... Not saying that those aren't the top 7 (nor that the remaining ones listed aren't the rest of the top 20), but don't put too much value on their relative ranks within that list. This will give you a good sense of what the most prominent programs are, then do your own research (and ask faculty) to build a rank order within them, since "better known" is not necessarily equal to "better quality."
