Founded in 1964, IÉSEG School of Management has received the prestigious accolade of becoming a Grande École (literally in French “a great school”), one of the most respected and academically rigorous types of higher education institutions in the world. Of the 63 business schools in France that have a Grande École program, IÉSEG is among the 12 that have received AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA accreditations. Less than 1% of Business Schools worldwide have obtained this honor. IÉSEG’s Grande École program and Masters of Science programs are taught entirely in English. Financial Times has ranked IESEG’s M.Sc. in Management No. 26 worldwide (Financial Times Masters in Management 2024 Ranking).
