- Reims, France
Sciences Po is one of the world's foremost universities for the study
of government and politics. It offers a well-rounded curriculum, yet
is largely known for the social sciences. Sciences Po has six
additional campuses in other cities that are also open to UT students.
Each of these campuses has a regional focus, such as Latin American
Studies or Eastern European Studies. Sciences Po has a very
international campus, with nearly half of all students coming from
abroad to study. This provides for a very intellectual and stimulating
classroom experience. Sciences Po in Reims teaches half of their
curriculum in French, and the other half in English, giving UT Austin
students a wide variety of course availability.
Students will earn regular in-residence UT credit. All grades earned
for the courses undertaken are computed into the official UT GPA.
