The chapter analyzes the academic and demographic evolution of over 23,000 graduates from the Cesare Alfieri School of Political Science in Florence between 1974 and 2023. Drawing on detailed individual records, it explores changes in gender, age, geographic origin, study programs, and academic performance. The study highlights how key reforms in the Italian university system—particularly the 3+2 model introduced in the early 2000s—reshaped student paths and degree structures. The findings reveal fluctuations in graduate numbers and career, influenced by educational policy shifts, economic conditions, and evolving course offerings. Gender dynamics and regional origins are also explored, showing broader trends in Italian higher education. The research offers a long-term view of how institutional, social, and educational transformations have influenced the profile and output of one of Italy’s most prominent political science schools.
