Sciences Po alumni and former staff include around three past or present French presidents, twelve past or present French prime ministers, six past or present foreign presidents, and a former Secretary-General of the United Nations. Since the mid 1950s, virtually every French minister of note has attended the Institute, including the current French president, Jacques Chirac, and the prime minister, Dominique de Villepin.

Instructors at the Institute are only rarely full professors, with that title reserved for a select few. Most instruction is given by professionals and practitioners from various fields related to policy-making, who agree to teach at the Institute part-time. For instance, many former government ministers, defense industry leaders, current diplomats, business leaders, and other career professionals teach during any given semester. This real-world approach is unique in French higher education, which is sometimes criticized as too philosophical and removed from the reality of the post-academic career.

History

The name Sciences Po refers to three institutions, the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques (founded in 1872) and replaced in 1945 by the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques (FNSP), a research foundation, which manages the Institut d'Etudes Politiques (IEP), a teaching school.

The Sciences Po was established in 1872 as the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (ELSP) by a group of intellectuals, politicians and businessmen including Hippolyte Taine, Ernest Renan, Albert Sorel, Paul Leroy Beaulieu, François Guizot, and led by Emile Boutmy. Following the defeat in the 1870 war, the demise of Napoleon III, the Paris Commune, these men sought to introduce new teaching reforms in order to renew the training of French politicians. Academic disciplines were studied from a pragmatic and practical point of view: the teachers included not only famous academics but also practicians: Ministers, High civil servants at the Banque de France, members of the Conseil d'État. New matters such as compared constitutional history were introduced. Sport was compulsory, and an important emphasis was put on the study of contemporary foreign societies.

The École Libre des Sciences Politiques was nationalized by General de Gaulle in 1945. Two entities were created: first, the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques (FNSP), a research foundation, with an assigned goal of "assuring the progress and the diffusion, both within and outside France, of political science, economics and sociology"; second, the Institut d'Études Politiques (IEP), the teaching school, administered by the FNSP. Designed to be the official training ground for the leaders of the French Republic, the Institute has played a very large role in the political history of the French speaking world, and the modern political history of Europe more generally.

The Sciences Po recently formalized a major institutional alliance with the London School of Economics and Columbia University, which has been burgeoning for years.

The purpose of the partnership is to foster greater academic collaboration between the students, faculty, and research centers of each institution. This specific alliance has resulted in myriad joint international policy-focused conferences held in Paris, London, and New York throughout the year. As well, the alliance has produced three joint-degree programs in International Relations, Negotiation, and the Practice of International Affairs with the LSE, a joint Master of International Affairs with Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, and a joint law degree with Columbia Law School.

Portfolio at NYU (5218 words)
Sciences Po's diversification policies are the subject of many polemics as they have challenged the traditional process of entrance into the grandes ecoles, elite higher education institutions in France such as Sciences Po.
Sciences Po is justifying the tuition increase to the students by saying that the school will provide much better services for the students, better libraries, more computers and the school intends to buy rooms at the Cite Universite, in the 14th arrondissement, which provides relatively cheap housing for students.
Sciences Po, in its own way, is also countering the critiques thrown at its illustrious reputation for forming political and business elites in attempts to save its legitimacy in an environment where the nation is not only attacking the establishment, but the institutions that form it as well.
Use of Sciences Po - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (267 words)
Sciences Po is a french abbreviation of sciences politiques, or political science, which is a division of the social sciences.
In 1945 General Charles de Gaulle transformed the study of political science in France by creating a system of schools modelled after the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques, which was founded as a private school and trained many of the European political and diplomatic elite.
The only IEP to retain the epithet Sciences Po is the National Foundation of Political Science (France) (French: Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques) and the school which it manages, the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (English: Paris Institute of Political Studies) because they are the direct descendants of the École Libre des Sciences Politiques.
