Situated on a sprawling campus in Jouy-en-Josas 11 miles southwest of Paris, the HEC School of Management educates nearly 200 full-time MBA students every year who are drawn from more than 50 countries. Just 14% hail from France—down from 30% five years ago—with 40% from Asia and 15% from North America, making for one of the most diverse learning environments among France's grandes écoles.
Fields of Expertise
Exchange Opportunities
The 16-month program, four months longer than most European MBA programs, allows for a variety of exchange opportunities with HEC's 45 partner schools around the world. Many students earn dual degrees—either a second MBA or an additional master's—from institutions including the London School of Economics, the Stern School of Business at NYU, and Tsinghua University in Beijing. Electives include courses on management buyouts, credit risk ratings, and business opportunities in crisis economies.
Emphasis on Technology
In 2005, HEC forged a partnership with Apple (AAPL) to supply iPods to all MBA students. They are now used in almost all courses to review lessons, publish student presentations, and give students on-demand feedback from professors.
Compulsory Foreign Language Skills
Foreign language skills are also a cornerstone of the program. French lessons are compulsory during the first four months of study, and students proficient enough can choose to take business courses in French. Students already fluent in French must learn another language during the program unless they are already trilingual.
