Dual Degree Programs

New York and Paris: Columbia and Sciences Po

The Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University and the Graduate Journalism Program at France’s Sciences Po launch a new dual-degree program, beginning in fall 2008, which will allow students to study journalism in both New York and Paris and receive degrees from both institutions. Columbia Journalism School students at Sciences Po will study subjects such as international affairs, French and European history, economics and social dynamics, and a wide range of journalism courses, and, while enrolled at Sciences Po, they will also be placed in internships with Paris-based news and media organizations. Students from Sciences Po who are admitted to Columbia will enroll in Columbia’s Master of Science program, the cornerstone program offered by the Journalism School. A student must first be admitted to the Columbia Journalism School before applying to the Sciences Po program.
