ESSCA’s re-accreditation by the American organisation AACSB* for 5 years underlines the school’s increased academic standards in a period of strong development between 2020 and 2024.

It also confirms the strategic orientations of the Odyssey 20/24 plan, which focuses on organisational design, innovation and quality. Obtained without interruption over the past 10 years, this label of excellence positions ESSCA among the best international management schools.

The assessors, deans of prestigious institutions, particularly praised the implementation of an innovative and efficient multi-campus structure to guarantee the same quality of teaching across the 10 campuses, as well as a high-performance student support system based on the strong commitment of faculty and teaching teams.

Jean CHARROIN, Dean of ESSCA, comments:

The renewal of AACSB accreditation for the 3rd consecutive time underlines the confidence in the institution, which for 115 years has been committed to a process of continuous innovation, with quality as a central focus. This recognition also attests to the relevance of ESSCA’s strategic model, based on a multi-campus organisation in France, China, Spain, Hungary and Luxembourg. This network of 10 campuses on a human scale, close to economic players, is a strength for training tomorrow’s leaders and supporting organisations in their transformations.
