The school had gained international exposure since the 1820s, but it was not the only business school open to international students.

Those levels of study include various "parcours" or paths based on UE (''Unités d'enseignement'' or ''Modules''), each worth a defined number of European credits (ECTS). A student accumulates those credits, which are generally transferable between paths. A Bachelors is awarded once 180 ECTS have been obtained (bac + 3); a Masters is awarded once 120 additional credits have been obtained (bac +5).
