- Paris, France
Sciences Po (Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris) 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 Paris offers the majority of their curriculum in French;
however, there is a large selection of English-taught courses
available.
Students will earn regular in-residence UT credit. All grades earned
for the courses undertaken are computed into the official UT GPA.
