1 PRESENTATION OF ALLIANCE DUAL DEGREE AND JOINT PROGRAMS

2 Created in the fall 2002, the Alliance Program is a non-profit transatlantic jointventure between Columbia University and three French major universities, École Polytechnique (maths and sciences), Sciences Po (social sciences) and Université of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne (law and humanities). CUTTING-EDGE EDUCATION PROGRAMS A FACULTY NETWORK OF EXCELLENCE A PLATFORM FOR GLOBAL DEBATE A UNIQUE JOINT VENTURE CONTACT The Alliance Program forecasts the future of global education. Every year, around 200 students benefit from a range of 20 international dual degrees and joint programs in all disciplines, including Art History, Curatorial studies, International Affairs, Sustainable Development, Journalism and Financial Engineering. Dual degree programs are offered to undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students from all over the world. The Alliance Program is a strong international network of leading professors and research centers. Every year, a dozen of visiting professors teach abroad within the Alliance network, benefiting hundreds of students and colleagues. Simultaneously, the Alliance Program supports joint transatlantic research teams that are thriving in the humanities, social sciences and hard sciences. Since its launch in 2002, the Alliance Program has become a major academic platform for transatlantic debate on the pressing issues of our times. In 2012 alone, the Alliance Program organized 37 joint academic events (lectures, conferences, workshops and a photo exhibition), in New York or in Paris, in co-sponsorship with 55 different centers and institutes. On the vanguard of their fields, Alliance guest speakers stimulate the audience into a fine understanding of complex processes through a global exchange. Supported by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the four institutions, the endowed Alliance Program Fund was formalized in Columbia University, Ecole Polytechnique, Sciences Po, Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne are thus making history with the first ever joint endowment of its kind. In 2012, the endowment has already accrued more than $3,000,000.
