The Grande Ecole Program

The ESLSCA Grande Ecole Division boasts an excellent reputation in France and has a worldwide network of more than 9,000 alumni.

The Division of Masters of Science (les 3^e Cycle Spécialisés), created in 1988, includes several major areas of study such as the reputable Finance and Trading program, the Financial Engineering program, Master of Science in Marketing and Commerce, and the renowned Master of Economic Intelligence.  The latter is a leading program in Europe that studies the strategic behaviors of the multinational corporation in the age of increased globalization and the rise of information-intensive means of competition.
