Spread across our four campuses – La Rochelle, Tours, Paris, and Orléans – our Faculty embodies a diverse and cohesive academic community, fully aligned with the strategic axes of development of Excelia Business School:

• Axis 1 – Academic and experiential excellence for lifelong employability

The Faculty places the integration of knowledge and experience at the heart of its pedagogical approach. Through an innovative learning model, our professors design immersive, hybrid, and professionally oriented learning experiences. They guide students in developing sustainable employability, grounded in scientific rigor, creativity, and critical reflection. New teaching methods embrace organizational and technological transformations – such as artificial intelligence, professional mobility, and hybridization – to prepare agile graduates capable of thriving in complex, interdisciplinary environments.

• Axis 2 – “Augmented” sustainability serving business performance and societal impact

The Faculty embodies this commitment by integrating sustainability issues into research, teaching, and partnerships with pioneering organizations. Initiatives such as the Blue Education Experience, the Sustainability Challenge, and the introduction of (EST) Ecological and Societal Transition courses reflect this ambition: connecting disciplinary learning with major environmental and social challenges. Our faculty members and researchers train responsible leaders capable of imagining and implementing solutions that create both economic and societal value.

• Axis 3 – Education for the World

Rooted in openness and intercultural dialogue, the Faculty nurtures an international community representing 27 nationalities. It contributes to the dissemination of academic diversity and the enrichment of global perspectives. Through international academic alliances, globally oriented programs, symposiums, and transdisciplinary research projects, it strengthens Excelia Business School’s international visibility and prepares learners to act effectively in an interconnected, ever-evolving world.

Our Faculty is structured around five academic departments, two cross-disciplinary teaching departments, and one specialized department, bringing together complementary areas of expertise.
