Study at CEFAM (French-American school of management)

Established in 1986, CEFAM is an undergraduate Franco-American Business School working in partnership with certain American AACSB-accredited universities, including:

- Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts;
- Pace University, New York City;
- Rider University, Princeton, New Jersey;
- Siena College, Loudonville, New York;
- Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

By definition, the CEFAM Program is international, and open to students of all nationalities who wish to pursue their business studies from an international perspective. Located in Lyon, an important European crossroads, CEFAM has built its reputation on both the high academic standards it offers and expects of CEFAM students, and on the Euro-American framework within which such standards are attained.

The CEFAM Program follows the American Liberal Arts tradition in education, allowing CEFAM students to study business and non-business subjects. Credits earned at CEFAM are transferable to the partner American universities where CEFAM students complete their course work and obtain their Bachelor of Business Administration Degree (BBA). Once CEFAM students obtain their BBA from the partner university, they simultaneously receive their CEFAM Degree, entitled International Manager, Responsible for Markets and Management, registered with the official French Governmental Index, RNCP (Repertoire National des Certifications Professionnelles).

Qualifying BBA graduates may then, of course, choose to continue their academic career and pursue an MBA or Master’s degree.

At CEFAM, all courses are taught in English by professors with advanced educational degrees and considerable experience in their particular professional area. CEFAM students benefit from a close-working environment and high professor-student contact level to ensure optimal conditions for a business education in an international setting.

In addition, the CEFAM program has incorporated 9 to 12 months of corporate experience into its curriculum. All students must complete two distinct internship periods, in France or internationally, during the first three years of the CEFAM program. This real-life exposure to companies and how they function is an indispensible element of our program.
