Skema Business School is a private institution. Founded in 2009 through the merger of two French business schools, it operates as a grande école, a type of elite higher education establishment in France. Unlike public universities, Skema is funded primarily through tuition fees and private partnerships.
It has multiple campuses globally, including locations in France, the U.S., Brazil, and China. While it follows French higher education standards, its private status allows greater flexibility in curriculum design and international collaborations. Skema is accredited by EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA, reflecting its high academic and operational standards.
