Toulouse Business School (TBS Education) is a private institution. Founded in 1903, it operates as a grande école, a type of elite French higher education establishment typically specializing in business or engineering. While some grandes écoles receive public funding, TBS is privately managed and funded through tuition fees, corporate partnerships, and private donations. It holds triple accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS), a hallmark of prestigious business schools. Though independent, it collaborates with public universities for research and dual-degree programs, blending private agility with academic rigor.
