Sciences Po, MPA

[international09]

I am thinking about applying to the Sciences Po MPA, but I would like to find out more about the program. I am looking for general impressions about the school and the degree, but I'd be especially interested in learning about the type of career options available to their graduates. I already looked at their website and have a general sense of where people end up, but I'd love to know more of the specifics such as:

- the quality of the curriculum/how well it prepares students for the working world

- the quality of the career services - are they helpful in the career search or are you on your own?

- is there any recruitment on campus?

- anything else career-related you can think of?

My biggest concern is that the degree won't be of much value beyond France and that job prospects would be significantly limited unless one speaks French.

I am an EU national with fluent English and German but no French. I got my undergrad degree from a top US school. I am considering the MPA as preparation for a career in EU policy-making and other various policy jobs with international organizations (e.g., UN, OECD, etc.) or private companies (e.g., Kissinger Associates, Booz Allen, etc.)

Any feedback would be much appreciated!
