The School’s goal is to have an institutional and economic impact on territories of its ecosystem, to be a benchmark for its innovative pedagogy and its values, an ethical and socially responsible player contributing internationally.
A word from the Dean
With our four campuses, Excelia is a school committed to excellence, vocational relevance, and responsibility, making it one of France’s most ambitious, dynamic, and innovative business schools!
A commitment to excellence… because our business and management school, which is a member of the CGE and CDEFM, ensures that its programmes meet the highest quality standards, both in France and internationally, and boasts EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA accreditations, a triple crown held by only a few hundred other business schools in the world.
A great place to learn!
A commitment to vocational relevance… because, from start to finish, our pedagogical approach is based on the premise of sustainable employability for all students, so they enter the job market with ease and enjoy a successful lifelong career, whether through initial education or continuing professional development, which starts right here at our school!
A great place to build a career!
A commitment to responsibility… because since it was founded, Excelia Business School has been a forerunner in meeting the challenges of modern times: producing, transmitting and sharing knowledge and experiences that contribute to the sustainable performance of organisations and businesses, and to the future of young people, companies, and our planet.
A great place to forge the values of commitment and action, for oneself and for the common good!
Whether you are a student, a manager, a company, or a business partner, I hope that this welcome message and the site’s contents will arouse in you the same passion that we have at Excelia Business School, namely a passion for education focussed on our common future!
