CELSA is a French communication and journalism school (grande école) located in the West of Paris, (Neuilly-sur-Seine) and is part of the Paris-Sorbonne University. The name CELSA is an acronym for the French phrase 'Centre d’études littéraires et scientifiques appliquées', i.e. Centre for Applied Literary and Scientific Studies.
Founded in 1965, the school has designed a curriculum which offers students a wide range of classes in the information and communications sciences and associated professions, along with courses in the humanities and social sciences.
