FRANCE 24 English
Sciences Po or Sciences Po Paris, also knows as the Paris Institute of Political Studies, is a private research university located in Paris, France, that holds the status of grande école and the legal status of grand établissement. The university's undergraduate program is taught on decentralized campuses in Dijon, Le Havre, Menton, Nancy, Poitiers and Reims, each with their own academic program focused on a geopolitical part of the world. While Sciences Po historically specialized in political science, it progressively expanded to other social sciences such as economics, law and sociology.
Scores of protesters on Friday occupied the central campus building of Sciences Po and dozens of others blocked its entrance.
