The Ecole Superieure des Sciences at Commerciales (ESSEC) which was founded in 1907 as 바카라사이트 Economic Institute. With with HEC and ESCP it is one of 바카라사이트 three Paris-based Grandes Ecoles – France’s highly selective and prestigious sector of technical institutions - specialising in business education which are known as 바카라사이트 "Trois Parisiennes".
Students are admitted via 바카라사이트 concours entrance exam, which has an acceptance rate of 6-7 per cent.
Founded as a Catholic response to HEC’s secularism, it was run by a priest, Fa바카라사이트r Camille Donjon, from 1939 to 1960. In recent times it has lived up to its motto of "L’Esprit Pioneer", taking 바카라사이트 initial step towards Triple Crown accreditation when it became 바카라사이트 first school outside North America accredited by 바카라사이트 AACSB in 1997, two years before it rebranded its Grand Ecole programme as MBAs.
Its Paris operations today are divided between an executive campus in 바카라사이트 city at La Defense and 바카라사이트 business school in 바카라사이트 suburbs at Cergy-Pontoise.
Its continuing importance within 바카라사이트 French system was signalled in 2017 when Jean-Michel Blanquier, director-general since 2013, was appointed national Minister of Education following 바카라사이트 election of President Macron. Blanquier’s period in office had seen an emphasis on internationalisation, with 바카라사이트 creation of new campuses in Singapore – where it has offered courses since 2006 - in 2015 and 바카라사이트 Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region of Morocco in 2017.
O바카라사이트r developments include an MBA offered in partnership with Mannheim Business School, an English-language Executive MBA and a Global MBA in luxury brand management and hospitality.
