The École Supérieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales, more commonly known as ESSEC Business School or simply ESSEC, is a business school and grande école based in France. Founded in 1907, its main campus is located in Cergy in the île-de-France region, but also has locations in La Défense, Rabat, and Singapore.[6]
Founded by Jesuits in response to the creation of HEC Paris, it remained independent of any chamber of commerce and industry before 1981. It was then under the control of the Versailles, which became the CCI of Paris Île-de-France in 2013. Today, ESSEC is a member of the CY Alliance, formerly the Université Paris-Seine.
The ESSEC group delivers numerous training courses in administration and management through its post-preparatory class course called the "Grande École Program" conferring a master's degree. Moreover, it offers a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) through the ESSEC Global BBA program, a specialized masters (SM), a master's degree in business administration (MBA), and doctorates.
The historical rival of HEC Paris[7][8] and ESCP Business School, ESSEC forms the group the "three Parisians" designating the three most prestigious business schools in France.
