COMMUNITY IS OUR STRENGTH

Our community-based approach to learning means that your ideas and input are heard and valued both inside and outside the classroom. This encouragement comes from faculty, staff, and peers, in a friendly environment where everyone knows your name and you become part of a close-knit, global, community for life. This community within our 340-acre residential campus, located 10 miles outside of Paris in the picturesque French village of Jouy-en-Josas, where most MBA students live and spend the majority of their time.
