Sciences Po in France

International mobility and overseas experience have become invaluable assets for all young graduates starting a career. Building on a strong partnership between Columbia and Sciences Po, the five-year BA/MA program allows selected undergraduate students from Columbia University to follow an intensive program aimed principally at students specializing in public and international affairs who wish to develop their intellectual and professional capabilities from a cross-cultural and transatlantic perspective. It offers a unique access to Europe and the Francophone world.

The program includes three years of undergraduate study at Columbia and two years of graduate study in Paris at Sciences Po. Upon completion of this joint program, students obtain both the Bachelor’s Degree in Arts and Sciences awarded by Columbia University and the Master’s Degree for either Management in Business or Public and International Affairs awarded by Sciences Po, otherwise known as “Le Diplôme”.

Students apply in the second term of their sophomore year, are interviewed by a committee composed of faculty from both universities, and are provisionally accepted at the end of their sophomore year. A second review is undertaken in the junior year before final acceptance into the program. Candidates must have at least three years of college-level French and have completed all College Core and major or concentration requirements with at least 93 points by the end of the junior year. Applications are available through the Office of Global Programs.
