INSEAD (Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires) is widely recognised among the world's top-tier business schools and is one of the most innovative and influential. It is the only business school with full-fledged campuses both in Asia (Singapore) and Europe (Fontainebleau).
INSEAD was founded in 1957 as a privately funded, independent European business school. Currently (June, 2005), 144 faculty members teach 870 MBA students, 6,400 executives and 71 Ph.D. students from over 75 countries.
INSEAD's unique global perspective and multicultural diversity are reflected in all aspects of its research and teaching. The INSEAD-Wharton Alliance, announced in May 2001, combines INSEAD's resources with those of Wharton's campuses in Philadelphia and San Francisco, to deliver business education and research across a Global Learning Network.
The school has been certified by EQUIS and AMBA.
