GRAD SEMESTER PROGRAMS: SCIENCES PO

Sciences Po is an urban campus composed of 17th and 18th century buildings in the heart of Paris. Its neighbors include ministries, embassies, corporate headquarters, publishing houses, and the National Assembly. Sciences Po benefits from its proximity to leaders from the private and public sectors who often address students on a variety of issues. Additionally, students are exposed to the cultural flavor of the Saint Germain district, renowned for its art galleries and architecture, shops and cinemas, and restaurants where editors lunch and left-bank denizens dine. World class historical and cultural attractions (the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Sorbonne, the National Museum, etc.) are all within walking distance. Sciences Po Web site

Graduate and doctoral exchange students are treated as full-time Sciences Po students and thus have full access to all campus facilities, including computer rooms, libraries, cafeterias, the cyber café, and career and placement services. All of Sciences Po's main buildings are equipped with WiFi internet access. Students also have access to personal university e-mail accounts. Sciences Po is committed to making all necessary accommodations for disabled students. There are over 50 student organizations at Sciences Po which are based on issues such as politics, culture, environment, religion, gender and sexual orientation, ethnicity, and development.

Applications for Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 are due February 2, 2009. Please contact the SIS Office of International Programs at sissum@american.edu for more information.
