The institution is a member of several academic consortia (including the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs, the College Board and the Global Public Policy Network) and has linked partnerships with 470 universities including Columbia University, the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics, and Peking University.
In France, Sciences Po has campuses in Dijon, Le Havre, Menton, Nancy, Paris, Poitiers, Reims. The Sciences Po Undergraduate College offers a three-year Bachelors degree that includes a year abroad at one of Sciences Po's 470 partner universities. The seven graduate schools at Sciences Po are composed of more than 30 Master's degrees and five PhD programmes (law, economics, history, political science, sociology).
Sciences Po was founded as a private institution by Émile Boutmy in 1872 to promote a new class of French politicians in the aftermath of the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian war of 1871.
