ESCP Europe affiliated to the Paris chamber of commerce and industry (CCIP), established in 1819, is the world’s oldest business school, with which HEC and ESSEC are the Paris’ top three business school in Europe. ESCP Europe has been accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB, the so-called Triple-Crown Accreditations which was very rare since less than 1% business schools around the world have got the accreditations.
