Orléans Campus
Studying at a business school in Orléans means choosing the capital of Centre-Val de Loire, a human-scale student city, well connected, with a rich cultural life. Its historic heritage sits alongside green spaces, including the banks of the Loire.
Excelia Business School, the management school of the Excelia group, has been present in Orléans since the group took over ESCEM, the city's former business school, in November 2020. The campus's flagship programme is the Bachelor in Business, which can be taken as a standard programme or on a work-study basis, and it also hosts several Master of Science (MSc) programmes.
The school holds the quadruple international accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA, EFMD Master). In Orléans, students appreciate being close to the teaching and administrative team.

Teaching innovations at the Orléans campus
The Orléans campus has an XL Factory. It is a space dedicated to teaching innovation and collective intelligence, where people look for new ways of learning and thinking together.
Experimentation is at the heart of the teaching at Excelia Business School, since group projects, case studies and periods in companies test what you learn against real situations. Excelia's two engagement schemes, Humacité© and Climacité©, are an integral part of the programmes. Depending on your curriculum, you can commit to one, the other or both.
