ESCEM was formed through the merger between the business schools ESC Tours (1982) and ESC Poitiers (1961) in 1998[3] as well as EGC Orléans in 2012. With a yearly enrolment of about 2'600 business students, ESCEM awarded around 15 different qualifications from Bachelor to Masters level degrees.[4] ESCEM was a former member of Conférence des Grandes Écoles and successively obtained the AACSB and EQUIS accreditation.[5] In 2012, it initiated the project of France Business School.[6][7]
